SF worth of the name

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2013)

This movie is simply extraordinary. I just finished watching it again after a few years and it has lost nothing of its genius. I would give it a 12 if I could. When you realize that it was produced with $30m (a tenth of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End which was an insult to cinematography), you're just left with a sense of wonder for the immense talent displayed over every single facet of this very intelligent movie.
I also just saw Elysium, and I can only applaud for the strong desire for dignity, empathy and justice that percolates from Mr Blomkamp's work. This is a director to respect and follow, someone of Ridley Scott's caliber, but with a large human heart and a strong idea of what civilization should be.
All hail Neill Blomkamp!
