Elysium review

Rating: 8/10 (5 September 2013)

Elysium was worth the money at the movie, but that's the least I'd pay. Some elements weren't quite right, such as the first ship in the introduction seen making it to Elysium, or how all the citizens around Max (Matt Damon) were what looked to be Mexican or some South American race. Jodie Foster is not threatening at all, but Sharlto Copley, the bounty hunter she hires, can get pretty intimidating at times, pulling out swords, tracking explosives, and even remote-detonating ninja stars. Don't forget about his 2 sidekicks, Beavis and Butthead. They talk through most scenes, but still play an important role in the story. Overall, it had that cool District 9 feel and some cool effects (guys getting blown up), just a little storyline last-second BS. 3*/4
