It’s summer and that means big sci-fi blockbusters, right?<\/p>\n

Science fiction happens to be one of my weaknesses — I’m a sucker for a starship and a\u00a0 mysterious horizon.<\/p>\n

These are brilliant, provocative works of speculative fiction (that’s the new, high-brow term for sci-fi) that are all roughly 10 minutes long or less.<\/p>\n

We kick off with the original version of the film “9” by Shane Acker.\u00a0 This was later expanded into a full-length animated feature, in collaboration with Tim Burton.<\/p>\n
