Oh geez. I hated both District 9 and Elysium... there's no hope for this movie.
The Raid was an awful film. Also Roger Ebert would like a word

What? Odd review before that but this completely through me off.What country are we in? The movie never tells us.
I'm ready.

There's no hope for you...
D9 was fantastic.
If you treat Elysium like what it is, a dumb 80s style action flick like The Running Man or something, with Sharlto Copley and Jodie Foster hamming it up, it's quite fun. If you treat it like some kind of political screed aiming to be thoughtful, you'll probably dislike it a lot more.
Blomkamp was just reflecting his view on the world as someone from Africa who moved to Canada. Using it as a backdrop for a sci-fi flick. He understands that first/third world divide a bit better than most.
But because healthcare and immigration were hotbed political issues in the US at the time, people thought they were getting a left-wing preachy movie about America. I don't even think Blomkamp is political in that sense. The portrayal of Nigerians in District 9 was not the work of a liberal.
Nailed it. The film had nothing to do with American politics.
Kinda made me think of Battle Ange Alita tbh
Seeing as how Sigourney is buddy buddy with Cameron and will be working together soon, maybe she can arrange a meet!Yeah and how that movie will likely not be made in my lifetime. Cameron should just give it to Blomkamp.
Any particular edit you'd recommend? I've been wanting to watch Prometheus but similarly been told to do a fan edit that removed/minimized the plot problems.
How did they handle the scientists being morons? That'd take some really clever splicing.
Also, the article I saw said this will come out after Prometheus 2... which sounds... weird.
So is everything from Alien 3 onward being retconned? If so, good.
I'm gonna be bummed out if they retcon Alien 3. I don't care about Resurrection, but A3 Assembly Cut was fucking great.
I think it can...
So his argument is that their deaths are an allegory for AIDS/the drug war.
They need to retcon Aliens. Turning the alien from an ostensibly solitary, predatory hunter (like a tiger) into a space bug cheapened the entire thing.
yeah...
unless Scott is already deep in pre-production & planning on pushing Pro2 for like 2016 or something.
The guy seems to work pretty quickly.
Hicks was brought back in Colonial Marines,
Hicks was brought back in Colonial Marines, it's canon.

Can we at least all count on one thing? This movie will have Sharlto Copley in a major role. I think it will be a weird ass movie and be like Alien Resurrection, along with a weird way to bring back Hicks.
Cool, finally an interesting director to tackle the franchise. Don't let Ridley Scott anywhere near it though, that man is a hack.
Resurrection is one of the worst films of all time which is made even doubly embarassing because of how big a dump it took on the franchise.*shudders*
Having watched Resurrection recently to check 'just how bad' I found new ways to find it really, really fucking bad. The hybrid is okay though, technically. I can see why HR Giger liked it, but that doesn't excuse the movie.
