Oats Studios

All of these short films have amazing visuals, great directing and acting. Some of these story ideas are indeed likely to be similar to something you have already seen in other movies or series, but it still manages to take a new approach on a lot of these themes and subjects.

What people don't understand is that this isn't a series... These are experimental shortfilms independant from each other and that are meant (as often done in cinema, and as for example James Wan did with Saw) to gather feedback and eventually producers to make the most appreciated ones into full length movies. I can understand why people watching this on Netflix are angry about it, since they are expecting a show / series, and these informations should definitely be written in the description on Netflix in order to prevent confusing people who will not take the time to look up what this really is.

So yes, these aren't whole stories, but more glimpses, visuals and presentations of the different universes and characters that could be involved in these, if they were made in full length movies.

Now that you are advised, watch and enjoy or just pass on it if you don't care about this type of stuff and would rather watch a full length movie or series ;)

I can't really give it a solid good score because it's a lot of short vignettes (roughly 20min) that are the kernels of a potential full length film. So none of the stories have a definitive beginning or ending. But rather just a taste of what could be. The exceptions being the "infomercials". The sci-fi material is solid, however the comedy doesn't really work for me. Pretty much falls flat on its face if I'm honest. Getting back to the sci-fi though. There were a few intriguing concepts that, in my opinion, warrant some looking into. Like Rakka, Firebase, Zygote and perhaps Adam. If you're a movie enthusiast, this might be right up your alley.

It is an experimental show to find out which genre the public likes more in order for the makers to create a feature film. The show is a collection of short movies carrying different, fun ideas. Definitely worth a watch.

Nice selection of sci-fi and fantasy shorts. Would love to see some of them expanded upon. I especially like the God episodes, very amusing, the Vietnam episode and the very short Gdansk.

For being an independent studio the quality of CGI/animation is actually decent. It didn't make me cringe looking at it. The acting was good. It had a few famous people, but for the most part unknown actors. Some stories were moronic and tried to hard, others were solid story telling with inconclusive endings. All in all, this felt like a wannabe Black Mirror and Love, Death & Robots mash up.
