Thoughts?

Just another CGI crapfest. So far it's been utterly disappointing

>reduced to youtube videos

His fall was hard and swift

>aliens are actually why americans lost the Vietnam war

Bravo Neil!

>generic zombies during nam

>vietnam scene
>it aint me starts playing

>it has it aint me

When will it end

>"Finally I have become the It Aint Me™"

Jesus, really Blomkamp?!

More flashbacks and narration. A little less this time, maybe next time it'll actually play out a scene instead of being a premise montage.

>this won the vietnam war

BRAVO BLOM

The river god was pretty cool.

>it aint me starts playing

Oh my fucking god

>short films on youtube
>asking for nissan commercials
Is his career over?

You are all immensely cancerous.

Yeah no one trusts him after he hired Die antword to be actors. He's rightfully finished

The BMW commercial was one of the most poorly shot things I've ever seen.

Dude needs to stick to costume and set design, it's the only thing he's good at.

that's kind of sad, desu.
if he was a nepotistic kike, he would could have made $100+ million flops till he died of old age. they would have just used his films for laundering money.
nothing beats kike nepotism.

Tldr: A Vietnamese mans grief causes him to rip apart the fabric of space time and gives him telepathy and invisibility, the Vietnamese call him River God

He also turns people into zombies and cockroach men to follow his lead

Our hero has a gift that allows him to sense space time so he gets a microwave gun and puts on some shitty power armor

Boom sequel hook

There saved you 25 minutes

Pic related, its the river god

What did he mean by this?

He's right back where he started.

everyone makes fun of him and the movie for it but to be completely honest I thought they were surprisingly good at their roles, even if it was them trying to make the film about themselves

He could have been the next James Cameron. That's what he gets for insisting to hire those deranged subhuman white trash degenerates.
He should have gone all out and cast Paris Hilton, Bruce Jenner and Bella Thorne.

This.
Die Antwoord was the best part of the movie
it sucks because of chappie

>end of video
>please support our studio on our website or steam page

Goddamnit Blomkamp

BORING

die antwoord played themselves for their roles and it worked perfectly

the only real problems with the movie are too many unresolved/underused plotlines and the muh epic firefight finale

but chappie was the best part?

>t. doesn't know anything about oats studios

>deranged subhuman white trash degenerates
>not realizing it's all an act and they're full on middle class
L M A O

Love his shorts so far. Shows that he still got it.

>steam has movies now

gabe wtf dude

Wait, so it's not a continuation of the last one?

The last one literally set up not one but two huge cliffgangers. The "angels" who turned the course of the war and the black guy with the car in his head who could see the future.

>causes him to rip apart the fabric of space time and gives him telepathy and invisibility, the Vietnamese call him River God

aka doctor mantham?

>it's all an act it's just a prank bro! xDDD
I bet you also ironically fap to gay porn

>It Ain't Me starts playing
Pure kino

>Neil Blomkamp

No thank you.

Note how the first short and this one are subtitled "Volume 1"

I'm guessing Volumes 2, 3, 4, etc. are going to continue the stories begun in Volume 1.

That is, of course, if they can mooch off enough suckers on Patreon. Which isn't going to happen.

>"it ain't me" starts playing
So it's pretty much confirmed that Blomkamp lurks and is probably making these shill threads himself?

>7:22

>I'm CIA
>It Ain't Me
This is confirmed Sup Forumscore

>Bloomshit

Call me when he actually makes a decent film.

>it's all an act and they're full on middle class
I'm sure it's akin to middle class kids acting gansta and liking rap music in North America. South African middle class like to pretend like they are poor and fucked up, probably because it makes them look crazy and keeps the blacks second guessing.

>"Thank you, Sergeant Bracken"
>Next shot
>"Corporal Bracken will be flown back to the States"
This script is fucking terrible, worse than than the last short

i like the idea of this one but again he wouldn't be able to execute it in a feature length film

i like the skeletron with the flesh armor suit but goddamn this is badly written

>his grief turned him into a god

Literally the worst excuse for granting a character powers I've ever seen.

Wow, you're actually retarded. You couldn't even follow the plot of this half hour show.

>>t. doesn't know anything about oats studios

what should I know about it?

How long until we get sfm rule 34 of river god?

Mom's gonna freak!

neil blomkamp attempting to get crowdfunding/investment money to develop some sort of internet series based on one of the shorts they're making

they're selling cgi assets and shit they used, i'm not sure what use those are to anyone, maybe there are some general use models that would be helpful

cool visuals and idea ruined by poor execution of CGI, bad acting, and stock sound effects.

>that MIG transformer with nose-mounted flamethrower

what in the hell

Uh, what?

>mans grief causes him to rip apart the fabric of space time and gives him telepathy and invisibility

That's exactly what was stated in the short film you stupid piece of shit. Go suck your Bulls dick and stop posting.

You utterly vapid fool.
>they said thing therefore they meant it literally
Confirmed for autistic.

>>that MIG transformer with nose-mounted flamethrower

that was the most retarded shit I've ever seen

it could be defeated with small arms fire, lmao

>only explanation given in the film
>no reason to assume they are lying or this another explanation
>"derrr, better go full retard and call others stupid for thinking thats the real reason"

Are you completely retarded or something? Do you own a gun? Use it on yourself if you do.

It's very metal gear solid. The Rakka one felt more complete though.

there's a clear implication that the River God is supposed to be a manifestation of evil and suffering caused by the war, balancing out suffering inflicted with suffering experienced

characters just interpret it as the Devil because it's the 70's and they're probably at least mildly religious

>25 minutes of slow motion shots with characters talking

fucking boring

Uh, ya, but it's still a terrible justification for granting a character supernatural powers. The whole story seemed like something out of an acid trip.

>too stupid to realize that river god is an alien
>looks just like an alien
>looks like aliens used in other films he has done
>Blomkamp uses aliens all the time
>Hurr durr it's God becuz they say so

You are dumb.

nigga wtf is wrong witchu

I liked the MiG, it looked exactly like the worst case scenario nightmare for an American soldier with wild imagination but only vague knowledge of Russian tech capabilities.

Oh my gosh someone who makes free entertainment wants you to visit it the horror what a fucking shill!!

Fair enough. The Vietnam war setting was poorly choosen tbqh. It's over done and nothing fresh can really come of it (hence the silly plot). What more can be said about it that hasn't already been said? The right can't even come up with good justifications for that war outside of "muh communism".

>must be an alien because director used aliens before

Are you serious? The River God didn't even look like an Alien. The reanimated dead had alien looking features once the skin was removed, but they were supposedly the work of the Vietnamese guy.

>it's God becuz...
What? I originally said "a god" as in "god like powers", not the "God".

But ya, must be Aliens because the story never mentions them...

>>river god is an alien
>you are literally shown it assembling around a human skeleton full-frontal
>this is not a demon or a manifestation of suffering wrought by humanity itself
>it has to be an alien because lmaoblomkamp

Almost IRL:

Hey, that was pretty good. Cheers, OP.

once again a narrated teaser.

this isn't the right way to do this project. tell proper self-contained stories. don't just infodump narrate the entire setup and backstory of a feature film over 20 minutes of concept footage.

rakka was strong because its first part was sort of a self-contained story. this one is just weak all over. STOP NARRATING EVERYTHING.

All the stories are going to be continued in Volume 2.

what was this thing supposed to be?

i think they blew it when they started the exposition dump about how the villager became the river god and that silly power armor. i would have prefered more mystery about his origin and more religious imagery or some shit. still better than rakka though.

he looks edgy as fuck but god damn the assembly looked cool

wat

>got superpowers after the trauma of seeing his wife and kid killed
Yes Neil I read Worm too

I liked it
Fuck off faggots that have too complain about literally everything

Nothing about this makes any sense. They just threw in a bunch of cool shit which made no sense at all. Same with Rakka when that angel appears and "changes everything" yet they never show them again. It's just a mess.

It`s basically antiWatchmen - vietnamese superhuman that can warp reality fights american troops, and there is glimpse of the parallel world where Soviet Union dominates in the Cold War (actually invading USA).

I don't think that's true, and even so, it just makes the obnoxious narration and 'EXPLAIN EVERYTHING' even worse. leave some fucking mystery. leave people something to fucking talk about. eg. if they hadn't explicitly narrated and shown all about River Gods origins, we would be having a discussion right now about that, with some people pointing to the opening 'he went down to the water and prayed' and others making note of the tech shit on his skeleton-body. instead there's nothing to discuss at all except for how stupid the 'it ain't me' was and how obnoxious the shitty narration was and how it didn't tell a story or have an ending.

STOP FUCKING NARRATING EVERYTHING, BLOMKAMP. STOP IT. STOP NARRATING OVER EVERYTHING. STOP.

Some dude had an M4 in 1970. Yeah, bravo Blompkampf.

Its CAR-15.

>want to make a movie about paranormal shit during the Vietnam war
>can't decide if it's alien bugs, necromancy or psychic powers
>who gives a shit put everything in

>and there is glimpse of the parallel world where Soviet Union dominates in the Cold War (actually invading USA)

I think the vision was mainly supposed to put the Americans in the shoes of the vietcong. Basically shit tier tech vs high tier tech.

>this is how it feels.

not bad for a proof of concept and vfx showing off 2bh
you have to look at it for what it is, I don't think this and the other one short were meant as more than a demo

It`s CAR-15 with M203. Pretty accurate IMO

Why the dollar store power armor though

he finally became a weapon to surpass the metal gear

Blowcrapman is a horrible writer and director.

He is great at VFX (visual effects) and that's where he should stick to.

His stories are just the most boring.
Also I'm tired of his Gore bullshit.

He is B-Movie tier, but when a B-Movie has good VFX

demo?
Why would he make a demo?

He is already famous.

it's this new studio thing he is promoting

>it aint me actually starts playing
What a world

Nigga, /k/'s about to blow you out.

no, this is the endeavor itself. and it's awful as such. the idea of this is that they'll try to find something people will love enough to push into supporting the creation of more of. they're just fucking it up by making everything obnoxiously teaser-like.

Die Antwoord were absolutely brilliant.

> too many unresolved/underused plotlines
I'm gonna go and simplify this by saying they were just too many characters and plotlines. Give me one hour and a half of those shitty rappers finding chappie in the dumpster with no other major characters, just doing random stupid shit. Everyone and everything else was a shitshow, Wolverine was alright but he isn't really needed.

Frankly I think Neil still has it, he just needs someone to be at his side and contain the shitty parts.

if the movie had been 2h30 or something it would have been perfect, enough space to fit all the ideas but not quite hitting that 3 hour endurance run

>throws a grenade in a fucking vietcong rat tunnel
>doesn't get blinded, deafened, and have his insides jellified
ah yes

actually had to check if blomkamp directed it because there wasn't a ham-fisted attempt at an apartheid allegory
