In a future where cities have crumbled and been reclaimed by nature we join a lone man exploring the ruins of the company Haven Nanosystems. Recovering a locked container he seems to have found what he was looking for, which is information relating to the quarantined Facility B. Unfortunately just as located by a robotic drone and the race to escape is on.

I'm not sure what would be better, the planned feature film, or making a video game out of it.....both wouldn't hurt either.
War nicht so dolle wie ich Anfangs dachte. Bei einer Postapokalypse gings schonmal besser und aufregender zur Sache.

Ruin establishes the foundations of an overgrown urban environment, but resembles a mere tech demo. Look closely. Does the post-apocalyptic vibe ring any bells? The stylish art style? If only the cover art had some humans running within a maze...! That's right, before Wes Ball tackled the YA franchise that would be 'The Maze Runner', he created this miniature short of a mysterious man of unknown origins fleeing a helicopter in hot pursuit. The regrowth of the urban landscape, also known as secondary succession to you environmentalists (thank you A level studies), may be reminiscent of 'I Am Legend' but instantly engages with its sheer beautiful animation. The entire world and its content were all fully rendered, with Ball apparently…

Where is the feature length??
Captivating animation, thrilling and enjoyable action sequences, and great sound design.
Ball is perfect for the movies he has made, and the ones he's about to make.

A very nice little gem, but sadly lacking. Ruin is a well made short, but I can't help but feel that there's something missing from this high speed "post-apocalyptic" chase film.
My biggest complaint is the score, it doesn't leave any room for the film to truly breathe. It's to aware of itself for its own good, and it keeps the viewer from really letting loose and really getting into what's happening on the screen.
Other then that, I thought that the film had very nice CGI animation (not my preferred style, but still very nice and well detailed). And there were some somewhat exhilarating moments, but they were not exhilarating enough. One scene in particular, where the fleeing biker…
Für 2011 teils noch echt anschauliche CG- und Lichteffekte, aber Postapokalypse, I am Legend, Speeder... äh Motorrad-Verfolgungsjagd, Cyberdyne Systems und möglichst coole Film- und Videospiel-Actionelemente mit einem musikalischen John Williams-Abklatsch zu unterlegen ist jetzt nicht die neue "große Idee" Herr Wes 'Maze Runner' Ball.

Wes ball got that post apocalyptic buildings with nature covered over it fetish
God damn it Wes, I’m so sorry that the feature film of this struck out too. This could’ve been a really awesome movie!
Not bad, if your idea of entertainment is looking over someone's shoulder while they play a video game.
a lot of his style is the same today… really fun to see how a creative’s unique eye and voice can stay consistent over the years (for better or worse).
An inkling of what is to come, Ruin is a short film that reveals part of the bigger story, of it's full feature length edition, funded by Warner Brothers and to be released some time in the future.
Expect to be living in 2016, (hopefully), and see a poster akin to the one on the right outside a bus stop, then think "oh yeah, that, I watched that short three years ago, I did. Definitely going to see it." Cos that's what will happen. And you'll be glad it will.
The sound design, animation and concept is stunning. It's a wonder to listen to, and good sound effects are hard to come by, especially for a short film. The animation…
Wes you know ball
