      This is definitely the best of his films. Though I haven't seen Alien 5 or Elysium

    Here we are 6 years later and it's still just as good. Nothing seems outdated, the special effects are still perfect. I guess we'll have to accept that it's part of an awesome movie that was never made. I've seen hundreds since this came out, no endings I wonder if all these are pitch movies, and they don't put an ending in hopes that whoever they are pitching this to wants to see more also. I'm usually late to the party, and once again I'm probably stating the obvious.

    It's Neil Blomkamp's studio, the director who made District 9 and Elysium. He founded Oats to produce shorts while testing these film ideas before turning them into features. Depending on the success, views and likes each short gets, big studios will be able to choose the best ideas to invest in.
    It's a great idea that results in a win-win-win situation: We watch great shorts for free, Oats profits from ad revenue while testing ideas, and studios are able to choose which project they like best and got the best reception on UA-cam and Steam.

      Waiting that too since long, since I saw it first time couple of years ago.
      Would be an amazing scenario for anything new, even just continue these micro-episodes, a serie or a blockbuster, anything else about it would be great... crossing fingers some scenarist focus on that in following years.
      And it’s not the only one !
      Couple others of these short movies have lots of promesses in them, but I don’t know any that became blockbuster next.
      Sad... we need good new SF movies, few that came recently made me hyped about (on Netflix or others), such potential on these short movies, it’s a shame nothing more come from them.
      But well, let’s keep hoping...

      It's Neil Blomkamp's studio, the director who made District 9 and

      ideas before turning them into features. Depending on the success, views
      and likes each short gets, big studios will be able to choose the best
      ideas to invest in.
      We watch great shorts for free, Oats profits
      from ad revenue while testing ideas, and studios are able to choose
      which project was the best and got the best reception on UA-cam and
      Steam.

    So I just discovered this series on Netflix and just ten minutes in, I was so frickin excited that I have discovered a hidden gem of a show that I can enjoy the whole season. Episode two, Firebase. I figured maybe it's like a flashback to a certain history about these creatures only for my hopes to be shattered in episode three when I put two and two together and realized that these are short films compiled as episodes. You'd think you know disappointment but not like this. This episode and firebase alone is better than all the mainstream sci-fi shitflicks we have seen over the past decade or more. I don't understand what's Hollywood's deal with remakes of dead franchises or, ruining classic ones. Just take a leap of faith and give these new creative minds a chance. This episode and firebase had me more thrilled than anything scifi over the past decade and that says a lot

      This happened to me yesterday. I was looking for Blomkamp's films, since I like his vision for scifi dystopias even when I don't like the movie itself. I didn't sleep well watching all the episodes, and I was thinking: why haven't i've heard of this existential horror scifi masterpiece before? Then I went to read people's reviews about it and most of the negative reviews couldn't make it past the third episode. Which is dumb since all the episodes are available at once. Granted, I couldn't finish the third episode myself either. When you combine unsettling and disgusting, I get too queasy. But most of the episodes after that keep going hard. With the power of hindsight, I think that episode 3 actually negatively impacted the show as a whole.

      Cliche the main idea may be but that theme of desperation and fighting despite this desparation is brought to life really well. Let alone the world they created, especially the enemy is terrifying and well thought. Since this is only the first episode, and free, it is like a stuffed trailer or a big ad that yells "buy me", nothing actually happens. We cannot say how the entire story will be, it might be garbage because of charcters or plot in future episodes or it might be epic who knows. Truly this series, by its world idea and concept, has a great potential from this episode.

We watch great shorts for free, Oats profits from ad revenue while testing ideas and studios are able to choose which project was the best and got the best reception here on UA-cam and Steam.

      Pi VN that is partly true and I concede that there are scenes in movies that would be incredibly difficult to replicate without prominent cgi. However we were approaching a near mastery of practical effects with films like T2 that had huge futuristic settings. Unfortunately the dominance of cgi has left the practical fx industry a shell. Given enough interest and support I thing even the fx heavy sci-fi of the future could be made fare more practically. Do I think this will happen? Probably not.

Eles pediam apoio com doações para o projeto seguir em frente porque era caro uma produção daquele patamar. e geral abraçou a ideia na época foi lá e apoiou inclusive eu. A gente ficávamos comentando que tinha que ir pra Netflix logo porque a serie era excelente, anos depois veio a noticia que a Netflix ia lançar o serie brasileira 3%. Sei que não foi por causa da gente que ela foi para a Netflix, mas que ajudamos a espalhar e da um apoio no começo e logo depois vela crescer foi gratificante. Mano foi mais que da hora.
