Some more successful/engrossing than others. Various lengths between a couple of minutes and (almost) a full episode. Must have cost a bit with the likes of Sigourney Weaver and Dakota Fanning etc.<br /> <br /> I liked it in parts. Would watch the opening "episode" if it was developed into a film or series (unless they replaced Sigourney W).<br /> <br /> Overall good fun, but not quite a full meal and not balanced enough for Tapas.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42604.11&return_msg=42604.9" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42604.11"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42604_12"></a><div class="message" id="message_42604_12"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">12 Jun 2023 11:13</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 12 Jun 2023 13:41"></span></span> <span class="message_count">12 of 13</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42604.12">42604.12</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42604.9#a42604_11" target="_self">42604.11</a></div> <div class="message_body"> This sounds interesting. We recently re-watched NB's Chappie, which might be -- wrongly -- considered a lightweight version of District 9 (I would have to rewatch that to be sure, but my feeling is Chappie is the better film). Either way, Blomkamp definitely has some awesome sauce up his sleeve.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 12 Jun 2023 15:30 by DSMITHHFX</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42604.12&return_msg=42604.9" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42604.12"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42604_13"></a><div class="message" id="message_42604_13"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: william (WILLIAMA)<span class="message_time">12 Jun 2023 14:19</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 12 Jun 2023 15:28"></span></span> <span class="message_count">13 of 13</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42604.13">42604.13</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42604.9#a42604_12" target="_self">42604.12</a></div> <div class="message_body"> It was certainly interesting, and most of it was entertaining. It felt a bit like somebody imagining scenes and sections of larger projects and working these imaginings all the way up to finished chunks. In fact, that's likely to be what happened. I thought parts were very successful, others not so much. Some was very original; some was not. <br /> <br /> The opening section dropped us into a post apocalyptic world with an extract from his short film Rakka, which is itself a "part" project. <br /> <br /> The various bits have been produced by Oats Studios, which is Blomkamp's experimental studio. The basic idea (apparently) is to produce snippets for release of YouTube, Steam etc. to see if there's an appetite for the full production. </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42604.13&return_msg=42604.9" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42604.13"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </body>
