Isnt this just ALIEN 5 anyway? It`s got Ripley, Newt, Hick`s, Aliens and stuff blowing up!
Although its been donuts since District 9, I like his stuff and this has got me interested for sure.
Yeah but whats original now a days? I feel like the base ideas arent original, but its the execution that matters. I watched the other trailer, with Alec Gillis from Stuido ADI. I love that guy! :lolGood grief that was DARK and GRUESOME !!!!!
Visually stunning but not an original bone in all its bodies. Its as if the Predator movie had been spliced in with the Terminator and had this totally ****ed up child. The VFX are next level, and I would really liked to have seen what he'd have done with an Alien film ,maybe Fox need to fire Ridley and give Neil a shot at the title. But he has stolen so many ideas from everywhere I'd be amazed if we got anything really different, just something that seemed very fan fiction.
Past tense narration always breaks any tension in a piece of media for me. The whole time I wanted characters to just move forward and tell the story through actions and dialogue instead of an omniscient narrator dumping exposition over the entire run time.
Im pretty sure just because you dont like it doesnt mean its stupid. I for one thought it was great, and would love a full feature film. Loved the practical effects as well. Its 20 minutes of story to get studios interested in making a big think, a la district nine. I saw it as an extended trailer. What was so stupid about the aliens? That they dont have armor on? Maybe there is an explanation as to why that is. Do you have any idea how hard it is to "come up with a new shtick"? The only one of his movies I havent seen is Elysium. But man. If this turns out to be a feature film Ill be the first in line. Sigourney Weaver believes in it, it cant be all that bad.Sorry, but that was just stupid. Now granted, I don't like Blomkamp's stuff in general, I hate the whole "cyberslum" thing, I hate the alien invasion thing, where the aliens are supposedly technologically advanced enough to lay waste to the world but they run around naked and are really downright stupid, this is what he does in almost every movie. Now visually, it's a technically beautiful piece of cinema, but story-wise, it's crap. Come up with a new shtick, please.

I just dont think you should call it stupid just cause you dont like it. If you dont like it, whatever, thats fine, but to call it stupid is kind of ridiculous. Believable stories? About aliens? I dont understand what you mean by "he wasnt in district 9". I dont recall seeing in any of my posts that I told you that you had to like it. I dont think you should call it stupid though just because you didnt care for it. Seems kind of ignorant to me but whatevs.You're welcome to like it. I didn't. As Blomkamp has said, he gets lost in the details. He's just not very good at believable stories. He wasn't in District 9, he wasn't in Elysium and he wasn't in Chappie. All of his aliens are the same. Most of his settings are the same. As I said, you're more than welcome to like whatever you want, you are not welcome to tell other people that they must as well.
