Eren Gulfidan, the Creative Director at Film Annex, wrote this about Alex in December 2011,

"Alex Nakone achieves creating a high-budget sci-fi look in his ambitious short films. But what really catches the viewer's attention is the subject matter. His film, Mr Morag's Helical Dream, reminded us of the award-winning Sundance film, Primer, and we were instantly hooked after 2 minutes of watching it. The cool blues and greens, the vast desert scenes, and the brief yet insightful look into the future make this film a gem in the pool of many many great short films out there. "
