This is the perfect ‘desert’ for this roller coaster of a meal, he perfect icing on the cake, he perfect way to close out the series on a high. Real high. ‘The Secret War’ steps up to the plate and delivers a phenomenal end to this phenomenal anthology.

‘Ice Age’ was one of the more light-hearted episodes of the anthology. Though it may have a cliché, unoriginal concept, it is visually satisfying and thematically does very well.

Stacking up consecutive successful missions, the impression of thisContinue reading “LUCKY 13: Episode Review – Love, Death + Robots”

‘Fish Night’ is an interesting watch, following the animation techniques of a ‘Scooby Doo’ or ‘Telltale Games.’ For me, though it had an interesting concept, with a good implicit meaning to it, it was more about the animation me rather than the plot. The plot is set in the future where the oceans have allContinue reading “FISH NIGHT: Episode Review – Love, Death + Robots”

Your first thought when you look at this episode is that it feels like an animated tribute to the motion picture ‘Gravity.’ It is about a solitary character trapped in the vast expanse of space, alone. Alexandria, an astronaut working in space, has to make sacrifices to escape from a situation she finds herself in.Continue reading “HELPING HAND: Episode Review – Love, Death + Robots”
