La región salvaje (2016)
A strange but effectively put-together narrative
To me, the premise is very simple (in a good way).
SPOILERS
Those with purity in their hearts, who receive and embody the love given (by the alien), survives it. Those who receive it out of fear, lack, and selfishness, are subjected to an untimely fate. Vero, who persists in returning to the alien out of fear and lack, continues to be hurt by it (think of an abusive relationship between two people). Fabian eventually suffered the same fate for similar reasons. I don't need to explain why Angel suffered his fate.
To me, the alien metaphorically represents the foundation of a relationship between 2 people. It can either flourish from / with love, or it can deteriorate and ultimately destroy those who engage it with an unhealthy mindset.
I would not call this a sci-fi despite the presence of the alien, as it is primarily a movie about character study. But I do love that the alien was used and how it was used to tell the story.
The storyline description is completely misleading, as the plot does not center around the couple who found the meteorite at all.
Love, Death & Robots: Snow in the Desert (2021)
Would watch an entire series of this.
I started watching this with the expectation that it was 3D animation. As I continued watching, I had second thoughts that maybe it was live action. Then my mind changed again as I couldn't tell if it was one or the other. What an amazing experience this episode was. The level of detail and how much attention was put into every part of it, was mindblowing.
Love, Death & Robots: Automated Customer Service (2021)
An entertaining episode
What's with all the "nothing new, nothing special" statements in the reviews? I personally thought it was a fun little short that had me chuckling all the way through at how everything kept escalating as the story went. It was absurb, silly and fun all at the same time, and it stands on its own merits. No need to compare it with the other episodes. Each one is meant to be a different expression of styles and creative output, whether focus was directed more at the visuals, the story, the characters or the technical aspect of how the episode was put together.
