I liked District 9 and Elysium, but I just saw Demonic and its the least scary horror movie Ive ever seen. Its a shame, he had so much potential.

Remember when he was supposed to be directing an Alien movie?

He made a very cool short film to coincide with Anthem...and then that game wound up as the biggest failure of the year.

He had one good idea, and every other movie he's made since has been a less and less interesting version of that idea.

You know Chappie was fucking garbage when Die Antwoord was the least awful part about it.

He's had such a disappointing career. He's got a really interesting style but he has a career of "almosts"

District 9 was awesome. Then he almost made Halo. Then he almost made Alien 5. Then he almost made a proper Robocop sequel. Then his actual projects have been mediocre to bad.

District 9 was supposed to be Halo from the start. Then MS halted the production and basically said "just make whatever with what you've got finished now"

I liked the trilogy, I wound up buying them on blu ray. Chappie is better than it's given credit for.

Really? The few glimpses of energy weapons in District 9 compared to the Paramount show, I would have loved to see this Halo instead.

We can add Josh Trank to that list.

That's always been weird to me, because nothing in District 9 really looks Halo-y

It's been a while maybe I'm forgetting

I would have loved to see this. His visual style and his thematic interests line up very well with Robocop; he could have been responsible for some of the coolest action scenes in the franchise, if not all of sci-fi. I mean shit, even his mediocre movies have great action and creative sci-fi weaponry involved.

I wonder why all of those projects fell through. Robocop especially wouldve been perfect for him.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I thought District 9 sucked. If I had to make a list of the most overrated movies ever, it would be at the top of the list.

He's still probably the best VFX artist in the game.

I used to think that until I saw Demonic. But Ill blame that more on the lack of budget.

The aesthetic of Elysium is so fucking cool.

Everyone seemed so disappointed when his Alien movie got scraped, but the odds of it being an awful sci-fi film were pretty high.

So worst case scenario it would have been another Alien movie

It can't be any worse than the tripe Ridley Scott has been shilling
