As a series that's been around since the days of the NES, Nintendo's Metroid series has always been a favorite chronicling the tales of bounty hunter Samus Aran and her intergalactic adventures, which have now been brought to life in an epic new fan film.

Production studio Rainfall Films and director Sam Balcomb have released a new fan film called Metroid: The Sky Calls, which brings together a slew of effects and technical wizardry to bring a pretty spectacular take on the Metroid series, with the short also starring The Nerdist's Jessica Chobot as Samus Aran, and also starring Halo 5: Guardians' America Young.
