The most Impactful thing I think I’ve ever seen...first 2m 50s of this short movie..
Neill Blomkamp, the guy who created the movie District 9, Elesium, Chappie and a lot more is now doing his stuff via his own film studio who (like ILM back in the day) is doing stuff differently...
Check out his Youtube channel, some other great short movies on there too.
After seeing the one below, think Apocalypse Now meets the pc game Doom, gave me nightmares...the beginning, maybe the most powerful 3 minutes of film I think I’ve ever seen. Never seen anything like it.
warning...not for kids, discretion advised.
