Firebase

Could they please just make this into a longer movie!? :) A long time since I've really enjoyed myself with a new story, or concept. The River King was amazing, a couple of things here and there that could be improved upon, just make this a motion picture already!

Starts off strong with an 8 type of rating, Great setting and lots of potential.

As the story drags on you remember that its a short and it needs to lead somewhere, the premise is very interesting but the explanation slows down the pase for a movie that is about to end. 7.

The ending itself and the River God fighting for the Vietcong finished killing this for me.

Went from lots of potential to "eh what"

FIREBASE is Director Neill Blomkamp's astonishing vision of the Vietnam war, where the inexplicable "River God" turns the jungle conflict into something even more catastrophic! Can the army possibly stop this paranormal abomination?

Part APOCALYPSE NOW, all supernatural horror, this short film is a unique, mini masterpiece of macabre storytelling. Fabulous CGI and believable humans add to the fright factor. The ending leaves one wanting more...

Two series which Blomkamps Shorts are often compared to are: 'Love, Death and Robots' and 'Black Mirror'. Both of these series are varied and clever; while 'Firebase' is anything but: I fail to see what such a dismal string of shock & gore shots brings to the world except baseless negativity.

The idea and production values are ace, but the execution has too much exposition and wonky pacing. Too many things are repeated, too much monologing, and the editing could be considerable tighter.
