Netflix Sci-Fi Anthology - Love, Death & Robots

Bad Travelling was my favourite from s3, there's always 1 or 2 episodes each season where after you watch it you want more from the characters and world.

Episode 9 was jarring with the mix between using real shots and imposed ones. That's the most 'out there' episode for me so far. Hopefully they renew it soon and we don't have to wait too long for another season.
 
Enjoyed the first two, the second one with the ship crab was a great little yarn, very well done that one.
 
1. Three robots - very good and thought provoking.

2. Bad Travelling - animation and story were superb.

3. The Very Pulse of Machine - was hoping for a better ending.

4. Night of the Mini Dead - very good.

5. Kill Team Kill - Loved this!

6. Swarm - the female scientists demise was very dark and a little jarring. Fantastic animation.

7. Masons Rats - This is hilarious, but the TT15 battle was a bit gruesome!

8. In Vaulted Halls Entombed - Amazing visuals. A bit scary too, guessed the final ending scene though :(

9. Jibaro - different, very different. Was it all animation? If so, amazing work. Looked more like a tech demo and i had a headache by the end of it :(

Overall there was a lot of very short stories which was a shame.
 
Jibaro was the best by a country mile for me, but they were all good.

Jibaro had me hooked from the start with the medieval setting, but with asian characters. Then when her shrieking started and they all did that bass heavy death dance into the water it felt like I was watching something really special. And there was a good short story in there, yet not a single word uttered. Amazing.

Thought it was one of the weaker ones - felt more like a tech demo and gave me a headache.

IIRC from looking at the credits, Jibaro was not based on a written short story, which is why it looks super pretty, but is like something a film school student with a high budget would turn out. If you look at Alberto Mielgo's IMDB, he's obviously a director/artist first, and writer second. It's full of pretty visuals and slick camera techniques, but the narrative is lacking. It's a piece of video art rather than a cohesive sci-fi story, and this is a pattern you often see when the film director and the writer are the same person as in this case.

More likely that they were conquistadors, putting it after the medieval period. ;)
