Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles When Tim Miller and David Fincher set out to create Love, Death & Robots, Fincher says they just wanted to make something cool. Mission accomplished. (This) Netfilx's new anthology series is the epitome of cool, an ambitious, dazzling, (bleep) up fever dream that hops between genres and animation styles to deliver an all-you-can-eat buffet of weirdness, from sentient yogurt, to ghost fish, to an alternate history that gleefully reimagines the many ways Hitler could have died. The shorts have no unified theme or message. Some are dark and nihilistic, others poetic and hopeful, while some are surreal or openly comedic. But most importantly, with the use of everything from traditional 2D animation to photo-real capture, no two shorts look the same. no two shorts look the same. With Love, Death & Robots, Miller and Fincher were clearly eager to test the boundaries of the medium and create something that could never be found in a mainstream multiplex or an network television. With buckets of gore, copious nudity, both male and female, and elaborate violence, this is storytelling turned up to 11. Love, Death & Robots has a broad scope by design. It aspires to explore interesting stories through science fiction, fantasy, horror, and comedy, with almost every animation style known to man. While there are some coincidentally recurring elements, most notably cats and boobs, it would be interesting to see what a more cohesive, focused collection would look like. Still, this is a smorgasbord of fascinating stories with extremely compelling visuals. Love, Death & Robots is not immune to the issues that plague most anthologies. Some stories are more repetitive or derivative than others, but many of the worlds are so fascinating, they'll inevitably leave you wanting more, as all good short fiction does. This is one visual acid trip that's worth taking, even if your mileage may vary. For more, check out our reviews of Us and Captain Marvel, and as always, subscribe wherever you like to watch IGN.
