Great Big Budget Sci-Fi

Rating: 8/10 (15 November 2013)

I don't understand why people have a problem with this movie.
I think people expected more because District 9 had such a unique story at it's core. Maybe Blomkamp will pull another one of those out of the bag next time, but for now I'm very happy with Elysium - one of the best films I've watched this year.
I understand that people want new ideas, and I really enjoy 'low budget'-'great idea' sci-fi - films like Primer ... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390384/ But also it's nice to see big budget, great production sci-fi like Elysium. Great special effects, and a decent (if fairly standard) story.
