Love Death and Robots is a collection of animated short stories produced by directors David Fincher and Tim Miller, that span various genres including science fiction, fantasy, horror and comedy, with some adult themes and scenes.
In Beyond The Aquila Rift, awakening after traveling light years off course, a ship’s crew struggles to discover just how far they’ve come. It’s a pretty mind-bending tale with some great effects sequences, based on the story by top SF author Alistair Reynolds, starring Henry Douthwaite, Madeleine Knight and Rebecca Banatvala.
