5 Amazing Short Science-Fiction Movies Available On YouTube

Why go out to the cinema when there are 5 great sci-fi movies hiding on YouTube?

Who doesn't like to watch a good sci-fi movie every once in a while? While every movie genre has a certain kick to it, science-fiction has everything an average sofa adventurer could ever wish for. There are interesting settings, fascinating worlds and bold questions being asked at every turn - all of which are fueled by some of the wildest tech you could possibly imagine. The thing is, to properly appreciate such a movie, one has to invest time and willpower in understanding everything that's going on around it. There is always much to think about, and some of these fictional universes require a healthy dose of additional scouring through alternative media to figure everything out. This is not a bad thing in any way, mind you. It's just that some of us - for lack of a better term - "SF aficionados" don't have enough time on our hands to delve deeper. Not to worry: YouTube comes to the rescue. Even though these complicated worlds, characters, motives and happenings require a lot of explanation and backstory in most cases, there are some where the majority of these things are left to be guessed at. To put it bluntly, these "movies" do not require anything other than about 10 minutes of your time: No Wiki pages to be read and no additional commentaries to be listened to. They usually focus on a small part of a huge fictional universe, and leave their viewers to fill in the holes as they see fit. The most fascinating thing is that some such "movies" do their job even better than full feature movies do. This article will try to honour such marvels by pointing you in their general direction. Enjoy!
