Luck 13 is the yep thirteenth episode of Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots series. The short film is directed by Jerome Chen, with animation by Sony Pictures Imageworks which is easily the biggest of all the studios working on a film for the series.
A new recruit is “gifted” the unluckiest of planes to pilot and she details her life with this role and ship. The story goes through both the life of the pilot and what everyone thinks of the ship as well. It was a futuristic war setting and reminded me of halo but with honesty and realism.
The story itself didn’t blow me away but the animation did. It was incredible and I honestly had the most fun trying to figure out if she was actually there or if she was rendered via animation. It blew my mind how realistic it looks. Overall the even though the story was almost cookie cutter, I still liked it.
