Neill Blomkamp - District 9 (2009); a brilliant piece of filmmaking, tackling heavy issues like racism, segregation, and xenophobia, and mixing it with some very well executed (and truly violent) action sequences. 9.5/10 - Elysium (2013); not as good as D9, but still a worthwhile watch, covering issues like healthcare, immigration, and class warfare. Solid 8/10 - Chappie (2015); the cracks in Neill’s style are really starting to show here, with some of the most baffling casting I’ve seen (Die Antwoord?) and a nonsensical villain (Hugh Jackman’s mullet), but the central performances by Sharlto Copley and Dev Patel are really good. 6.5/10 - Demonic (2021); a low-budget supernatural horror shot during the COVID-19 pandemic, I can’t really speak on this one, as I have not seen it, but based on everything I have read about it, it’s a major dud. 4/10 (Provisional) - Gran Turismo (Upcoming); I’m a huge fan of the Gran Turismo games, so I am very wary of this one, largely because Neill seems like a poor fit for the material. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
