Blomkamp releasing 20 minutes short film on youtube, why is nobody talking about this? Also 5:20, Jesus Christ.

Looks great except Blomkamp doesn't let his story unfold. He does this in all his movies, he has his characters spit exposition like a great second flood.

I think Blomkamp could make an awesome Metro movie.

And his biggest weakness is not ceding control of the stories to his movies over to competent scriptwriters. He has a knack for visuals, effects, casting, etc. but he does tell mostly the same story over and over. I think that if he had been allowed to make the Alien movie it would have steered him away from this issue.

I'm excited to see the other shorts he makes. He said those are more about experimenting with stuff he hasn't done before, so I'm interested to see how he handles other genres. Also, this makes me want a complete redo of American Horror Story but made by Blomkamp. I think he has a better understanding of anthology horror than whoever makes that.
>>
>it's metaphor for islamic refugees!
I want /pol/ to leave.

This was... eh. A real mix of good and not so good. It didn't need so much expository narration over every scene. Even though the entire point is to be a hook to see if people want more, they could have still told a real story, not just some vignettes. eg. kept the focus on the 'convoy' bombing attack through to the end, not shifted to this entirely different other operation. they tease two completely different potential saviors (angel aliens and precog negro) but don't show them doing anything (sort of implied the bulk of the action in the third part to be prec-nogs vision? but don't show how it would change thanks to that foresight).

they just threw EVERYTHING at the wall. which is weird for what is supposed to be just one entry in an anthology series (with at least two other parts just in this first 'volume').

the reptilians aren't the master race, they're manually controlled slaves of the goo, which is an unconscious self-maximizer (grey goo). the megastructures aren't terraformers, they're literally just giant blocks of breeding goo, with methane as an irrelevant byproduct.

It's a generic "There are rich people over there, we should go and kill them!" story where the protagonist literally breaks into the gated community in space, kills a bunch of people, and then takes their magical heal all machines.

I did not see anything about that in the movie. Is about disparity, a thing that do exists IRL.
The movie hit something on m. I am a scientist, as many of my friends are, but sometimes I think that all the cool stuff we discover will be used by a tiny percentage of the population.

Still, I don't think mass movement of people is an answer, at least as it's envisioned by half of the current political spectrum.

I think Blomkamp will be considered a pioneer down the road but I'll never be able to get on board with his haphazard directing.

He should really just ground the story's perspective to a few characters experiencing their present tense, and limit his medium to the best he has on hand, instead of stuffing the film with with go-pro shots, found footage, newsreels, etc.

>Get fused with alien technology
>Uses it against alien invaders

wow, we Blamkampfff broke new grounds! Its not like that was the premise of Edge of tomorrow. Avatar and Disrict 9 were also close to that, only technology was used against people, but still alien tech+human

Why are retards thinking this is about immigration when it's clearly linked to the war on ISIS?

Humans are ISIS like the girl trying to suicide bomb. Or the IED that killed the lizards.

Human discoveries are more ancient than their codification

Man, you are the one stating that "I don't understand" as an answer to me expressing a doubt. And being so triggered to do not think straight about the point of my posts.

opening line about breeding chambers? I think you could go with evil empire america = aliens and mussies = humans or black & brown plague with humans as europe? Either way it's a pleb interpretation of reality.

Anon, this is just one idea he had floating around of many. No i saying this is a ground breaking idea, just something that could become a feature based on FAN SUPPORT

>Human discoveries are more ancient than their codification

Maybe it was applied in a limited way by alchemists and physicians. But it certainly didn't exist as an universal tool for gathering accurate knowledge before it was codified.

>Either way it's a pleb interpretation of reality.
And it is already too deep for Americans. They can only get the hero's journey in capeshit.

>>83943062
More like Rakka=Raqqa and the breeding chambers can be likened to ISIS social media use to recruit members

this support is bloated because a handfull of BIG youtubers with millions of subsribers influence thir audience into supporting blomkampfff for no reason, or in exchange for roles in his movies.

But that's true. Even if the codification is recent, w survived with discovery and sharing.

Just watched it

Holy shit, it makes Covenant look like PG13

And the camera and editing is so fucking awesome I had more fun in 20 minutes than the entirety of the last 3 movies i've seen on the movie theatre. Fuck the Mummy, Alien and Wonder Woman.

Guys. Explain me why Elysium was so damn forgettable as a movie.

Was it due to the wooden acting and boring characters? The mediocre cinematography?
>>
>>83938307
This.
>>
>>83946976
>The mediocre cinematography

You don't even know what cinematography is, you damn clown.
>>
>>83947907
Yeah I know. It's basically everything in the movie that conveys the story and atmosphere. Good scripts can be ruined with good bad cinematography and bad scripts can be made somewhat enjoyable with good cinematography. At it's core it's about how you convey change of situation with time.
>>
>>83941628
The plot was bad and the characters were poorly written. Blomkamp admitted all of that. He loves the classic futuristic dystopian idea of the rich living in paradise while the poor wallow in filth, but he admitted that he dropped the ball with Elysium and it ended up not really telling the story he wanted to tell.

As sci-fi porn, it had great visuals though. That's the one thing people can't fault that movie for.

It's shit. The effects and props are amazing but the scene has no tonal direction and the editing staggers.
>>
>>83948538
effects are not that great as well I must say. It's Jason and the Argonauts tier.

Thank you, these are valid points; I possibly focused on the themes and "porn" but I have to admit that you are right. Had potential but was not good enough.
I still think that there is worse shit more praised, but this is not an argument.

Let's go back then: are or are not there inequalities in the world?
Should, or should not I, as a scientist, at least wonder who will ultimately benefit from my work?

To those complaining about originality, what is a possible story about aliens that HASN'T already been told? I'm pretty sure we've completely used up that premise. Even pretty original executions like Under the Skin boil down to a basic premise we've seen before.
>>
>>83935296
But it does seem like a student film in terms that it's just cool imagery.
There was some European short that got picked up and is being turned into a feature.
The story is thin and it feels like 20 minute pitch to make a 2 hr film.
>>
>>83948355
In an interview he said in a few weeks.
Dailies for the first short come out next week.
