At least these stories are original. They’re not a sequel, a reboot, or a remake. Also, they’re not being made for exploitation (except maybe the exploitation of special effects, which I will now dub “techsploitation”), or mindless blockbuster fodder. Most of these shorts lean more towards art than summer blockbuster. I think this is nothing but a good thing, ultimately. Will all of the movies to come out of this trend be winners? Certainly not, but most will be interesting, many might be good, and none will be Transformers 2.
