Haven’t seen the movie, but this scene gives an interesting take on corporate-driven near-future tech, and its effect on the underworld.

I loved District 9 and I was pretty into Die Antwoord at the time but left this movie disappointed. The story and acting were pretty corny. Great visual effects though!
Yeah, I just watched this yesterday and “pretty corny” is a good way of describing it. Like these guys kidnap an engineer who developed this world-changing tech, along with a priceless USB stick and then… just let him go. After he threatened to call the police on them. (I mean, he technically IS the police…) And the Die Antwoord hideout looks like Peewee’s Playhouse. And the robot makes stunning scientific breakthroughs overnight with some spare parts and internet searches.
But the graphics were good and the basic idea was neat. I kind of liked the fact that none of the characters were likeable, since I’m into “Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. The movie paid off in the “gangsta robot” scenes, I think the movie would have been better if they’d focused on that.
I’m with ya! Wasn’t an awful watch, I just expected more depth based on his prior film which I thought had great writing and a pretty powerful message.
