I know that Neil was in the editing room for each production -- and D9 will probably get an Oscar nod for Editing as well. His style is unique, and innovative. We've not seen the last of this guy!!

Intriguingly, his staunch supporter Peter Jackson has a parallel with his early days featuring lots of physical and puppet effects — there's definitely resonant kinship there. As a result in Blomkamp's work, we get the "WOW" factor which gets the desired and focused attention, as opposed to the wrong kind of reaction which goes "Oh geez, another CGI monster?" The effects support the story, instead of distracting from it. Thanks for this compilation!
