This "20min video" is as free as your generic Marvel 3D flick is 15$. They still have production costs. And by the look of this short film they spent quite a bunch.

That's because big budget films have to meet political standards, I'm surprised this didn't given Sigourney Weaver is in it (she's a hardcore SJW / Marxist type who is anti guns and pro xenophillia so she ruined the Alien franchise (which she was paid a share in for Aliens because they couldn't afford her) by forcing her politics into it.

[@oddnomad8010]

[@bendegil2162]

Cliche the main idea may be but that theme of desperation and fighting despite this desparation is brought to life really well. Let alone the world they created, especially the enemy is terrifying and well thought. Since this is only the first episode, and free, it is like a stuffed trailer or a big ad that yells "buy me", nothing actually happens. We cannot say how the entire story will be, it might be garbage because of charcters or plot in future episodes or it might be epic who knows. Truly this series, by its world idea and concept, has a great potential from this episode.

It's Neil Blomkamp's studio, the director who made District 9 and Elysium. He founded Oats to produce shorts while testing these film ideas before turning them into features. Depending on the success, views and likes each short gets, big studios will be able to choose the best ideas to invest in. It's a great idea that results in a win-win-win situation: We watch great shorts for free, Oats profits from ad revenue while testing ideas, and studios are able to choose which project they like best and got the best reception on KZbin and Steam.

Blomkamps movies has something in common with Terminator and Predator, his movies take place in present time. There is no need to creat a whole cgi world, the thing that ruined most movies. Many people like also big fights (many characters and/or a big scene) and that means a lot of cgi

[@marcoticon]

Pi VN that is partly true and I concede that there are scenes in movies that would be incredibly difficult to replicate without prominent cgi. However we were approaching a near mastery of practical effects with films like T2 that had huge futuristic settings. Unfortunately the dominance of cgi has left the practical fx industry a shell. Given enough interest and support I thing even the fx heavy sci-fi of the future could be made fare more practically. Do I think this will happen? Probably not.

[@GeeksAndGuinness]

Politically Incorrect totally agree; however, the fact that film making is becoming more and more decentralized means that Hollywood garbage (example ghostbusters) will become less and less viable. in turn, they will need to up their game to keep our attention. 10 years ago it would be unheard of for a indie film maker to have the same editing tools as Hollywood, now, cheap and accessible.

THOMAS CARNACKI Chappie and Elysium were made in the Big Hollywood studio system, and I'm sure Blomkamp had final cut for those... AND THEY SUCKED.

[@argusy3866]

saintmangina umm but is actually rubbish. Blomkamp is pure visual style, but doesnt work as a whole movie. Elysium, Chappie, those would have been great as shorts, as this one, but as movies were only ok. Distric 9 was cool and worked cause it was more or less the first of its kind.

[@tronkant6281]

Agustin Freyre I liked Elysium. It was a bit heavy handed in political messaging but it was a cool flick. Also how could not like the rubber ducky scene in Chappie? 'You steal daddy's car? Thief!'

[@TheArtkaw]

I really wanted to like Chappie and Elysium - they were beautiful and I love South Africa as a setting. But the villains were one-dimensional and cartoony (Jodie's over-the-top French and Hugh Jackman as a violent corporate thug) and the plot wasn't enough to sustain a feature-length movie. District 9 was the only one that worked, but remember that Blomkamp worked with Peter Jackson...

And it’s not the only one ! Couple others of these short movies have lots of promesses in them, but I don’t know any that became blockbuster next. Sad... we need good new SF movies, few that came recently made me hyped about (on Netflix or others), such potential on these short movies, it’s a shame nothing more come from them.

It would be amazing... I wonder if Neil has played any of the games. Give him 200$ million bucks and watch as that money is earned back. .. I would bank on him twice on sunday.

Steam probably has a larger portion going to the creator rather than the platform.

[@ekkeviira2381]

Johanna Tiemann​ Well, firstly it's totally understandable that they do not have such technology because the human population is getting close to zero. There is a scarcity of both resources and space for advanced technology. Even if they could build all that, they might just prefer to save time and resources. Maybe they are afraid of being spotted or find little use to such brittle tech. Similarly how many science fiction explains it's retro-futuristic design with the lower cost; higher trustworthiness and repairability of analog computers. Also, it makes sense for the aliens to concentrate it's attacks on factories, military facilities and cities. That is even shown in the film. The brightest minds fell under the attacks first with them. The pyromaniac is an exception to that exactly because he used his skills for evil and, as such, did not die with the rest of engineers, mechanists etc. Tl;dr, i know, but please argue with me.

[@dagoelius]

+Robert Suarez- funny you say that, Bloomkamp had written a script and pitched another Alien film to the studios, was to take place after Alien 2 but before Alien 3. The story centering around Hicks (starring none other than Michael Biehn) who gets woken up out of hibernation by a special forces warship (from Hicks home base) who answered the distress call made by Bishop in the second movie. The special forces unit inform Hicks that the base has been over run by the Aliens and they had escaped seeking to find assistance when they came across Bishops distress signal. Hicks is meant to lead an fight to regain control of the base. Apparently Bloomkamp had been given the green light to start production but shortlu after announced it put on hold. Now we know why. This looks awesome!

So I just discovered this series on Netflix and just ten minutes in, I was so frickin excited that I have discovered a hidden gem of a show that I can enjoy the whole season. Episode two, Firebase. I figured maybe it's like a flashback to a certain history about these creatures only for my hopes to be shattered in episode three when I put two and two together and realized that these are short films compiled as episodes. You'd think you know disappointment but not like this. This episode and firebase alone is better than all the mainstream sci-fi shitflicks we have seen over the past decade or more. I don't understand what's Hollywood's deal with remakes of dead franchises or, ruining classic ones. Just take a leap of faith and give these new creative minds a chance. This episode and firebase had me more thrilled than anything scifi over the past decade and that says a lot

This happened to me yesterday. I was looking for Blomkamp's films, since I like his vision for scifi dystopias even when I don't like the movie itself. I didn't sleep well watching all the episodes, and I was thinking: why haven't i've heard of this existential horror scifi masterpiece before? Then I went to read people's reviews about it and most of the negative reviews couldn't make it past the third episode. Which is dumb since all the episodes are available at once. Granted, I couldn't finish the third episode myself either. When you combine unsettling and disgusting, I get too queasy. But most of the episodes after that keep going hard. With the power of hindsight, I think that episode 3 actually negatively impacted the show as a whole.
