Review of Memories

Memories is a set of 3 short films in an anthology, and due to that I will be rating all 3 separately. Magnetic Rose is probably one of the best pieces of film I've ever seen, as well as the best thriller movie. It's suspenseful story reveals of the whole truth behind the situation piece by piece, leaving hints of other plot points in subtle ways before revealing them later. The score, the art, and the performance are all seamlessly put together so that it feels like a complete and fully satisfying story. It's best to go into this blind to get the full effect, sothat's why this review seems intentionally vague. 10/10; You MUST watch this.

Stink Bomb is a story with a very simple premise of a man becoming a biochemical weapon and the after effects of it. Nothing about the story is too outstanding, although I found it to be somewhat humorous. 6/10; watch it if you will.

Cannon Fodder is a shorter story just a little over 20 minutes while the others were about 40 minutes each. This short film shows a day in a steampunk city at war. If you enjoy steampunk or big mechanical contraptions, you'll end up loving the design and how meticulous the film shows the weaponry. 6/10; No real story and just an excuse to flex the animation.

Overall it averages out to a 7.3/10; but I would highly encourage watching the first film even if you aren't going to watch the other two.
