IDK why you guys shit on Elysium, shit on Matt Damon, shit on Blomkamp (except when you cuck about District 9, like every movie should be fucking District 9). IDK why Sup Forums does this! I watched Elysium on BD and: great visuals(lots of effects and well executed); story was GREAT(yea it has tangerines with near future, which is a plus, and a cohesive, fluent and well paced narrative); acting was above good, all the leads doing very well.
Just cause you guys are hate driven and bitter neets with no future doesn't mean a movie is not good. On the other hand Chappie was shit ruined by Antwoord with are subhuman trash.
Dylan Brown
I liked all the movies mentioned and rolled my eyes at your fgt buzzwords, fucking kids
Josiah Gomez
if it wasnt for the 'focking prown' man it would be an utter shit. Him and the guns kinda saved that horrible movie.
Jackson Ortiz
NNnno no!
Noah Martinez
Lets not forget about snowpiecer, another Sup Forums underrated movie. ...best movie ever
Charles Bailey
Why do you guys hate good movie, I don't understand ?! Just cause Blomkamp is young and might look like one of you neets doesn't mean...
Michael Wilson
Movie of the decade...
Josiah Cooper
no, you fucking didnt. you didnt compare this great movie to bait-shit Elysium
Lucas Phillips
stunning visuals
Chase Evans
its all about the message that Blomkamp tried rape us with. Also tech was kinda stupid like ressurection device. To cap it all expectations were to high
Charles Cox
Its half a good movie and half incredibly ham fisted story with no subtlety whatsoever.
Jason Evans
>resurrection device Facial reconstruction? You're both dumb.
Brandon Bell
Magical performance.
Luke Morris
>Facial reconstruction? as far as i remember Kruger died, didnt he?
Brody Mitchell
nah, his brain was alive
Mason Gray
No, his face was blown off and was in a fuckton of pain, but he was still alive.
Ryan Anderson
I agree with all you said user
Easton Bell
well, you were right. the wiki says "Kruger is grievously wounded by a grenade blast". my bad
Jack James
ITS THE SWEETY MAN
Christian Thomas
I watched District 9 for the first time a couple days ago, and I really liked it. Is any of bumpkins other shit worth my time?
Ryder Watson
Space paradise gets ruined by sjw's after they ruined earth.
Kevin Ramirez
>Is any of bumpkins other shit worth my time? anything else does not reach District's level but its ok. Anyway Sharlto Copley is an asset anywhere.
Joshua Powell
the scene where matt damon mocks the talking robot is like a cringe carnival
they even put it in the trailer
Alexander Thomas
But the movie is the exact same as District 9. It's not bad, but it's so similar in tone, theme and structure to District 9 that it might aswell be called APARTHEID WAS BAD :(
Samuel Gomez
District 9 was fresh and the message wasnt so obvious
Eli Collins
Because it wasn't District 9
Liam Ward
>D9 wasn't obviously about Apartheid Really?
Matthew Lee
Is it weird that I like this movie just as a dumb action movie? Because then the lack of subtly with the message isnt as distracting. Never got around to watching Chappie, is that worth a look or worse?
Carson Thompson
>that it might aswell be called APARTHEID WAS BAD
But this wasn't the message to District 9.
In fact D9 showed most of the "aliens" were so stupid and primal, violent chimpouts in the making, that lib media actually started scratching their heads and wondering if it wasn't all racist after all.
Tyler James
no it wasnt. it was secondary story. The primary was the Copleys transformations and aliens homecoming.
Grayson Turner
I fucking love bloemkamp's designs for vehicles/objects/weapons.
Could you imagine a star wars worked on by him? We would actually see some iconic designs emerge from the franchise again.
Charles Carter
This. I think his movies are worth it just for his design and special effects work, which is untouchable right now.
Asher Cox
If you like Bloemkamp at all it's 100 percent worth it. It's better than Elysium in my opinion.
Dylan Cox
It was actually about present day immigration. Africans south of Congo all head to South Africa and steal jerbs and sleep on the streets unlike native south africans who sleep in abandoned buildings.
Leo Moore
if you can stand listening to fucking yolandi then yeah dude sure go for it
Bentley Clark
Didn't WETA do a lot of the designs for D9? Their stuff is always top notch.
Bentley Scott
Didn't WETA do the Hobbit...?
Logan Hughes
Yea, watch that BD at 35Mbps on 40'display, that's some eye candy right there boi.
Jace Hughes
>IDK why you guys shit on Elysium, shit on Matt Damon, shit on Blomkamp 90% of stuff people 'shit on' here is perfectly fine or at least tolerable And with the stuff that is actually garbage, like Marvel and DC movies, nobody listens to Sup Forums's warnings
snowpiercer, but only for its originality in setting
both are heavily flawed agitprop flicks
Daniel Williams
it's pretty flawed but worth a look. I don't get the hate for Die Antwoord, I don't like their music at all but they put on a pretty solid performance
Nathan Peterson
>Matt Damon quips
no thanks
Aiden Carter
6/10
7.5/10
both underrated by Sup Forums, both still not great and very fundamentally flawed.
Easton Thomas
Those who hate Blomkamps work because of Sup Forums related reasons do understand that the man is a complete racist? In D9 most of the aliens are useless and dumped on earth by the elders. In Elysium Damon fucks things up for everybody (things were already fucked up for most).
I too love Blomkamps designs and special effects. It's like he understands the usage of special effects way better than many other directors. That's partly why Chappie was a massive disappointment for me. The opening sequence made me rock hard and I was waiting for the last showdown but then everything was kinda meh and plot really silly. It almost went to camp territory but not enough.
Samuel Torres
>dumped on earth by the elders I though their shit broke
Nathan Fisher
It wasn't a horrible film, but it sure as hell wasn't good. >cuck about District 9 Are you underage?
Angel Collins
Neil "If you're black, you have to go back" Blomkamp
Jaxson Gonzalez
What's wrong with that?
Cameron Flores
God I hope this is b8.
Adrian Ramirez
This is like a 5/10 film at best.
Tyler Green
Jesus Christ, why so bitter user?
Brandon Price
>5/10 at best
lol idiot
Josiah Harris
The film itself just has way too many flaws to give it more than that, despite its somwhat interesting premise.
Ryder Rivera
Fuck off, idiot.
James Thomas
Name the flaws stupid faggot
Lucas Anderson
You should fuck off right now! Snowpiercer kino army here!
Julian Robinson
Everybody in the movie doesn't look or talk like his mom!
Kayden Lewis
>In Elysium Damon fucks things up for everybody But the space liberals were just hoarding resources to hold lavish parties in their orbital croissant. They aren't depicted working hard for noble purposes, you have no reason to sympathise with them. Earth is shitty to begin with but it can evidently support the people living on it. Damon killing himself to activate universal healthcare is not likely to make things worse for most humans.
Ethan Green
For an example, they have this working class of people on the train, but they don't seem to actually do anything but sit around and be poor. Get rid of them and you've solved your problem with population.
Another scene I found stupid was the part where Chris Evans discovers he's been eating bugs and acts disgusted when he's literally eaten human children.
Then there's the positioning of the carts, which is just a minor complaint.
And the entire ending was just fucking retarded.
Those are a few of my complaints.
Ayden Cooper
>space liberals What was liberal about them? They were practically Ayn Rand reincarnate.
Dylan Butler
>human children are delicious you bitch!
Carter Roberts
eating bugs is gross
but shrimp, lobster, crabs & crawfish are fine
Jason Brooks
Both were enjoyable. Snowpiercer was much more orignal in style though so it gets my vote for superiority.
David Lopez
>eating bugs is gross especially if they taste bad
Justin Carter
Zero subtlety, and the final act kinda felt like a big nothing. I didn't hate it, but I didn't really like it either. As a follow-up to District 9, it was a letdown.
Leo Fisher
Agitprop? The Elysium scenario doesn't seem unbelievable at all. I can easily imagine 'the 1%' relocating into a luxury space station staffed entirely by robots while Earth turns to shit before global warming and globalization. If the necessary technology existed, why wouldn't they? It's one of the most well thought out premises for a sci-fi film in a long time.
Brandon Martin
Hamfisted anti-Capitalist sci-fi power rankings:
>Flick: The Hunger Games >Movie: Elysium >Film: Snowpiercer >KINO: High-Rise
I liked Snowpiercer pretty well until the final act, but High-Rise never loses its sense of humor
Nathan Walker
>Get rid of them and you've solved your problem with population >small children are taken away they keep the population balance cause the upper classes can't fuck fast enough
Easton Myers
Not liberal humanists, just liberals. Not really different from classical liberals except their ideology isn't limited to straight white christians.
Luis Barnes
>global warming Implying it's real?
Jonathan Reed
>High-Rise was a mess
Jason Powell
That irish leprechaun dude was p cool.
James Walker
It feels like Elysium was supposed to have a pro immigrant/non-white message but actually shows the opposite. All whites (except Matt Damon) and rich people have left earth to live in a space station, where they've developed miraculous technology. The non-whites left on earth have apparently turned the planet into a giant favela.
Nathan Watson
Best film I've seen in years
Nathaniel Cook
I agree, it's a mess.
Evan Russell
Climate change, dustbowl, desertification, aquifer depletion, rising sea levels - all these things have happened in the past from entirely non-human causes or from the effects of primitive human activities on their environment, why can't they happen in the future? there's no need for it to be caused by your F150
Aiden Perry
Blomkamp can be great when he wants to. He just needs to reign in the social commentary a bit and keep his plots focused
Nathaniel Perry
Why do you Sup Forums tards see defectuous b movies as the pinnacle of cinema? You're not smart if you do that.
Juan Anderson
>good director >half-rate writer at best >wastes his whole career on shitty vanity projects
I feel like a whole generation of filmmakers has been poisoned by "auteur theory"
Parker Sanders
I genuinely liked it. It stuck in my head and I immediately wanted to see it again. And I liked it even more the second time I saw it. That hasn't happened in a while. I'm not trying to impress you
Adam Thompson
>The non-whites left on earth have apparently turned the planet into a giant favela. I may have missed a thing or two but isn't Elysium about an oppressive space colony armed with millions of security robots and futuristic artillery denying people on earth freedom, technology and access to earth's resources?
Ryder Johnson
Wagner Moura , do you have a prob seeing the color white?
Jayden Rodriguez
Elysium wasn't good. It got completely sidetracked with the dumb aussie assassin plot line.
OP is probably aussie shitposter
Chase Lewis
Completely indoctrinated, won't even try to red pill him.
Dylan Thompson
Watch rec 1, Attack the block and see how a sci fi with a high rise building should be done.
Thomas Perry
I felt the same way. Felt racist for thinking this.
Juan Powell
Rec 1 was very good, but High-Rise is EASILY better than Attack the Block. And I liked Attack the Block just fine.
But it's kind of a tough comparison because High-Rise isn't really driven by action like either of those films, it's more of a dark comedy. At this point you might as well throw in Dredd and The Raid if we're just naming entertaining films set in a high-rise
Logan Hughes
that's not how you hold a gun
Dylan White
Yea, they rule Earth from space and keep most humans at pleb level.
Easton Campbell
>why did you guys shit on Elysium
In what alternate universe did this happen
John Martin
Sony had Blomkamp neutered from the start. Hoping his next work has nothing to do with them. >sony leaks '14
Connor Martin
i'm not a normie so i don't know why, but nerds complain because it was meant to be a Halo movie
Josiah Russell
You missed the part where the guy running the robot factory is bankrupting himself to keep as many of these plebs employed as he can, despite the fact that his robots are perfectly capable of running the factory without any human oversight, like they run Elysium.
The Elysians are the only people with ethics in the whole damn movie.
Elijah Flores
Then aren't THEY the people whose actions perpetuate Earth being a giant favela? It isn't logical to blame the people on earth since they're being dicked by Elysium. And despite this, the favela people are actually shown going to work, building tools from scrap, helping their friends and worrying about the state of public health. The people on Elysium order missile strikes on poor people.
Xavier Clark
