Reviews
** Spoilers ** Neill Blomkamp created a world that feels about as hopeless as I've ever seen in a movie. I often find films where a much weaker force wins against a stronger force to be difficult to take seriously, so the bleakness of humanity's situation in Rakka was fairly refreshing. I wish we learned more who the saviors at the end of part 1 were. To my knowledge they are mentioned and then the point is forgotten, instead focusing on Amir's precognitive abilities. The special effects were very good, which accentuated all of the disgusting things that the Klum do to humans in the movie. Rakka is aesthetically very well done and I certainly won't be forgetting it anytime soon.
