... View MoreThe thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
... View MoreOur hero named max film in the year 2154 in a world that is transitioning away from this world and lives in a very bad state and living in their own space prepare a space run by the name of Elysium, Elysium the rich never not anyone from the world our hero a robot working in a factory, but there is a danger and an accident at work because of this disease is vital to the citizens of Elysium is available only to correct itself and it starts up with a device that needs to heal. The film wrapped me in labor, congratulations to the studio.
... View MoreThe general idea of a society on a satellite, while Earth is in shatters, is interesting, though not very original. The corruption of such society, again, interesting. The protagonist, small-time criminal who tries to redeem himself, yet nobody is helping him (quite the contrary), also interesting. There are other lesser interesting pieces.But, the pieces don't bond well, if at all. It's just jumbled up together in some hope it will all work out. But it doesn't.Casting is a major issue. Matt Damon is wrong for this. He's not a great actor, but, if cast well, he's OK. But, when cast bad, like here, he's _bad_. Jody Foster, quite similar, actually. She might be a somewhat better actress, but, she too is prone to miscasting. It's not that she's the "main bad guy", she's actually great at playing The Bitch. But, not this kind of Bitch. The other "main bad guy" is trying to be scary, but fails and I couldn't understand half of the things he said.Bottom line, pass this one. There are much better SciFi movies, including some with similar ideas.
... View MoreThe good special effects and other "top-gear" junk&stuff are just wraps for the basic idea which is being propagandized and blessed by "god": the "elite" with money can treat other people (crowd) like animals (waste material). And the "biggest" dream of this waste material (animal crowd) is to get themselves up to Elysium and get well. No character does not even try to give a thought that this whole "elite-crowd" society idea is the biggest crime against Humanity itself. In the first place. The "big victory" in the movie's end is a pure coincidence, which will not change anything: the same old animal instincts, "joys", fight for power and resources. This is the whole "masterpiece".
... View MoreThis could have been a really great film. Enjoyable and well acted.It was totally let down by nauseating camera work. Rather than adding a feel of action, the constantly jumping camera work was literally nauseating.It is about time film makers realised that this is a bad thing.This had to be turned off before the end.
