After taking a lengthy absence from sci-fi, South African film director Neill Blomkamp has decided to pit the human race against extraterrestrial forces once again. Created by his new science fiction studio, Oats Studios, his latest project is a short film called Volume 1 -- and surprisingly, it could make its debut on PC gaming platform, Steam.

With Hollywood currently afflicted by franchise fever, Blomkamp's latest project aims to let viewers test out an experimental series of entirely new sci-fi movie concepts over the internet. While the famous director is still yet to confirm which streaming platforms he'll be using, a recent tweet suggests that he could stream these movies over Steam.

    Came out of nowhere, blew me and several others away. Elysium was heavy handed and flat out not a good movie. Interesting to see how he does for his next movie.

    The apartheid theme was very curious, depicted in a matter-of-fact style.

    Chappie was good, but in some ways a bit too close to the other two. I do hope Blomkamp doesn't turn out to be a one trick pony. There is more to cinema than action Sci Fi.

      I loved chappie. I don't know why, it was full of inconsistencies and stupid cliches. But I loved it.
