10 Most Shocking Moments From Love, Death, & Robots
1. The Truth – Beyond the Aquila Rift
The most photo-realistic and science-fictiony of the bunch is no doubt Beyond the Aquila Rift. The crew goes to hyper-sleep and wakes far off course. They come to in a station and happen to run into the captain’s old partner where he begins to feel comfortable and at peace with the mistake.
He soon feels not all is right and begins to question his reality. He demands the truth and eventually finds it: he did veer off course but didn’t land beyond the Aquila Rift. The reality is Thom is near death and in a hive that has his ship, and numerous others, trapped in it. A woman-like spider appears before Thom lets out a guttural cry.
Thom is trapped in the creature’s hive, but as it keeps him captive to die it lets him be at harmony in a simulated and happier world. Thom awakens once more just like prior, only this time hopefully to remain ignorant.
