Crazy how it instantly cut through the plane like it's made out of paper, this thing alone is scifi af

[@mcrae9999]

​@@adrianen9440yeah I really liked it. I'm surprised they didn't just use it as a weapon, especially against those droids. Maybe it has a long cooldown or something like that. But it would definitely be an overpowered weapon; a good example would be the end fight against Kruger- a shot with that thing would obliterate him even with the exosuit on.

[@inwit594]

@@mcrae9999 My assumption is that it's some sort of converted industrial cutter. The shapes are for molding or something, and the power demand is only good for a single use or maybe a couple if it's not attached to a power source. Also, I think while it could theoretically be a good weapon, consider that while it would kill someone pretty easily if they were in its way, it's pretty big and might have a preset 'radius', so if someones too far away or even too close it won't work very well.

I love how we can pretty much understand Carlyle’s personality so well with so little scenes of him. From how he treats Max we know he doesn’t care about his workers dying on the job to how he refers to cars as “wheeled vehicles” while severely underestimating the severity of his situation on the ground, showing his naivety, placing all trusts onto his droids and looking confused when they cut through his vehicle pretty much sums up the kind of privileged life he has had on Elysium and all he cares about to is taking control of Elysium with the datas he had (literally) in his mind.

[@davidhui7369]

I've never seen a single person say they disliked this movie. It didn't get as much attention as it should've, but everyone who's seen it loved it.

[@arcdecibel9986]

It got a lot of hate because it's preachy, stupid, Neo-Marxist propaganda with a plot that makes no sense. Just for starters, Earth is overpopulated and nobody on the surface ever bothered to invent anything better than a dirty slum. Why? Because some corporation controls all the means of production, somehow. Why doesn't anyone just make competing businesses that sell other stuff? No idea. As it is, Evil Corp manufactures robots capable of human function by using humans to manufacture them. Whys not just use robots that would work better? Labor theory of value. Communists think human labor has value even if it's worthless or counter-productive, at least in theory. In reality, you go to gulag for not working in cement factory. Anyway, EvilCorp just wants to make police bots that brutalize economically worthless people for no good reason. See how fucking dumb that is? It gets dumber, because Evil Corp and their government also own the ONE space station that apparently has post-scarcity technology. Because they just want to be mean, they won't give everyone free miracle medical beds that can cure everything for no cost. Everyone up there lives in nice homes, with very nice things. At this point, it would make sense for the "reball" faction to want to send someone up there to get some post-scarcity tech. If they could copy that, they could make a million space stations and all the food and medicine they want. But no, because this is a Communist story, they have to be overthrown by space illegal immigrants. There is no truth but the revolution, comrade. That's matt Damon's role. To get up there and fuck up the citizenship system so everyone from Earth can trash Elysium and invent a new slum. It's stupid enough that he also has to take a little sick girl, so you'll remember how BAD you are for not giving everyone your totally free healthcare. Evil Corp hires mercenaries to stop him, because mercenaries are evil, and they fail and everyone gets free healthcare and a borderless society we're never shown the results of. That's just a broad outline of how retarded the script for this movie is. It promised and delivered some cool action scenes and sci-fi, it delivered on that, mostly, but you'd have to be a moron to appreciate the message. Amazingly, a lot of people actually are that fucking stupid, and then they go out and preach more stupidity everyone has to pay for. This movie was "woke" before people broadly started realizing how bad "woke" was.

So, even though it sees Max standing there and has him marked, it has to think “There’s an individual there, he’s a target for termination, now where do I shoot, shoot here, target locked, fire”. It was actually pretty fast for a fully autonomous droid. One thing to note is how the droid threw the grenade directly at one of the cars without even looking, but it could be because it has a radar system that can track vehicles or the transport aircraft feeds them info like video because Carlyle knew there was a car pulling up, how many people were in it, and that they were armed.

[@MUJUNKY]

US Army EXACTO program and Nammo's work on miniaturizing complex munitions proves your dad right. Look up 'Nammo 40mm Airburst test' or 'Mk211 Raufoss' and that goes to show how complex the top end bullets and future munitions are. The only problem I can see with those AK rounds is finding an explosive that is powerful enough for how little explosive you could fit, and stable enough to not detonate in the barrel. Usually powerful explosives are incredibly unstable and have to be diluted down with stabilizing agents until they're safe to use. Still, you could absolutely fit a microchip/fuze in a 7.62x39mm's projectile. A bullet like that would be horrific if it went off inside of a person with even a tiny amount of explosive, like closing your fist around a firecracker.

[@Shadow_2135]

[@qwertyui-EFRB]

the new polymer cased ammo is pretty interesting

[@TheRyujinLP]

Maybe, at lest for small arms. Now bullets are never going to fully go away, lasers and plasma guns can't replace artillery. However by the end of this century lasers and maybe even particle beam weapons are gong to be common and pulse laser tech has a good chance of supplanting firearms as they would give every solider literal point and shoot accuracy with penetration and stopping power better then you can hope for with a rifle a solider could carry (outside of wearing power armor). Of course, there is still the chance that the military doesn't invest in miniaturizing laser tech and just goes full in on that guns are good enough (especially if they've invested into ETC weapons by that time). That being said, there will be a point in the future (assuming we live long enough as a species) that we advance small arms as far as they can go (recoil becomes the limiting factor) and laser get cheap enough. That'll be the point that pew pews replace them.

I haven't played the table top so I'm not sure about the connection there. But I will say this, it's very interesting to see this vs Blade Runner. Blade Runner is based of what people in the 80s thought the future would be like with Japan having a very heavy presence in the US, which is does but not nearly to the extent that that one does. Compared to this one and Cyberpunk Edge Runners were you still do have a Hispanic presence that is felt in the city. Other stuff, with Blade Runner it has LA as being something closer to what people thought of Asia with very tall buildings, and neon lights, this one where if you have been to Mexico some of the buildings there look like what you see in this movie. And to an extent there is still some of that in Cyberpunk, well more so than what we see in Blade Runner. You also do have exo skeletons here, which in Blade Runner I believe are actually outlawed and frowned upon? Since you did have scenes in the first movie where they were making artificial human eyes which was illegal I believe. Main point being how even though they take place in a Dystopian future version of LA, of just how different of an approach they both took.

[@wav3st3p16]

6:27 Such strange camera movement, but I love it

[@Nick-cy2tn]

Blomkamp scifi is always so grounded and world worn. He would do great with a star wars show

[@DomanStuff2022]

Please, do more camera shake! I can't live without it! Pleaseee!!!

[@AlexIsUber]

ChemRail gun in this movie is legendary

[@savagex466-qt1io]

This movie was WICKED ! I loved it. I can totally see the future somewhat like this for sure. The " haves " and the " have nots" of the earth such a massive gap you live off planet ...

[@ArcologyCrab-gq9ub]

“They are armed and I’d like them dead” is one of the funniest lines in this movie

[@karrskarr]

Lock, and load those 'clips' Thank you Sci-Fi Central! LIKE

[@tieradlerch.217]

That AK-47 mod is too sick as crowd control

[@kysco]

control? LMAO. More like removal

Yes officer this comment here

[@CollectorChronicles]

I Iove the BVLGARI timepiece Delacort is wearing. My go to fragrance is their “Black” so maybe it’ll be around.

[@jakemarcus9999]

I just love this scene.

[@yermekfun8203]

Matt Damon is great actor, really great. But it's not his role, to my view. Mega Hollywood star just doesn't fit in this "indie-like" movie (even it's not indie). And his character isn't so deep to play by experienced actor, so they should hire someone less known maybe, and pay more to scenario team) Anyway, i enjoyed this movie.

[@bobafeet1234]

Agreed, but it could be a case of (even though District 19 was a moderate hit), the studio dictated that Neill Blomkamp had to have a big name star in order to get funding for the movie and get the budget he wanted. If the studio gets Matt Damon, they feel comfortable putting up the money and green lighting the movie... they know Damon will bring in more viewers than an unknown. I thought both District 19 and Elysium were fantastic, original films. I'm so sad that Neill has all but disappeared from making big feature movies.

[@chaoticsequence]

@@bobafeet1234 IIRC Blompkamp had wanted to Eminem and Die Antwoord's Ninja (the rapper) to play the role originally, but both turned it down. I think Benicio Del Toro would have been a great choice (he's amazing in "Sicario" and "Way of the Gun"); a known actor but not Matt Damon-level famous.

[@stiqman]

Literally a cyberpunk mission.

Everytime I see this I just laugh how they installed that mech into his body and didn't even bother to take off his shirt. :D

Only saw this movie once years ago. But i remember it being pretty awesome ❤

That kind of automation is only a few decades away. It's All done to how much power we give to the A.I.'s .

Great Movie

¡Esta película la he visto muchas veces y sin embargo no me canso de la misma es extraordinaria y quedó buenísima gracias!👍😊

This is one of the few movies that I don't mind that the social commentary is heavy handed. So much cool shit makes up for it.

[@DraculaTepes420]

This & District 9 are phenomenal

[@khymaaren]

And then: Chappie...

[@DraculaTepes420]

@@khymaaren I need to rewatch Chappie tbh.

The fact they used a SCAR rifle in the scene…very cool!

The droids hit like butter and you would think they would be genius type AI but they stand in the open with no cover taking all the damage.

[@michaelfanning41]

Never has a movie started with more potential and so completely destroyed itself by the end.

[@yevanasvetya5486]

Everyone that contributes to this scene should be proud. I hold this movie high, even above John wick in terms of background concept. I will tell my kid about this and those badass AK, and also tell my granchild to not fuck around with African born British samurai

[@philleotardo8760]

This movie was so slept on. It kind of reminds me of Babylon A.D. with Vin Diesel, but waaaaaaay better.

[@pavlo2692]

I just realized Cyberpunk's mission where V/Aldecaldos shoot down the Kang Tao pod is very similar to this sequence. At least I find it quite familiar.

[@FatGouf]

I love how both Narcos protagonists are on this film.

[@f1dog]

Apple watches were way better than her watch by 2015, and this movie came out in 2013. No need to wait for until 2077 for most of this cool stuff. Pretty sure he's flying over Oakland.

[@Calvin-r93]

The visual are very impressive.

[@K1rkles]

Everything in Blomkamp movies has to be so splattery and drippy.

[@chickendrawsdogs3343]

That laser cutting device is freaking lethal. Unless there's some kind of drawback (perhaps power supply, cooling...) - they could've used it as a weapon.
