Director Neill Blomkamp is obsessed with aliens and sci-fi stories. He has revisited familiar territory in a new way with "Volume 1 - Rakka," a short from his experimental film group Oats Studios.



The 22-minute film, posted Wednesday on YouTube, stars sci-fi movie royalty Sigourney Weaver.

"Rakka" looks gorgeous, fitting of a big-screen treatment. Yet here it is, free on YouTube. The lizard-like aliens seethe with hatred, and the human world is crumbling. Fans of dark sci-fi or of Blomkamp's previous work, including his low-budget alien movie "District 9," will absolutely want to watch "Rakka."

In a mere 20 minutes, Blomkamp creates an apocalyptic vision of an overwhelmed world and delivers characters you will want to follow into the future. Hopefully, "Volume 2" is in the works.



"Rakka is the story of broken humanity following the invasion of a technologically superior alien species," according to the official description. "Bleak harrowing and unrelenting, the humans we meet must find enough courage to go on fighting."



Rakka is the first sci-fi short film by Oats Studios, directed by Neill Blomkamp (District 9 and Chappie), featuring the aftermath of an alien invasion that has enslaved millions of humans. The free 22-minute film, which features the amazing Sigourney Weaver, is available to stream for free on Steam, YouTube and the Oats Studios website.
