Elysium.... definitely not Elysium.

Rating: 1/10 (17 August 2013)

I must say that all the hype about this movie has left me perplexed about how terrible it was. Half way through I found myself nodding off several times and struggling to maintain interest. I was further shocked by the constant stream of "F" words, which were completely pointless and warrant less. Given Damon's history and reputation, this was not a film that I would like to remember seeing him act in. Throughout the movie I kept thinking that I was watching a rerun of Mad Max with Mel Gibson. It had the same feel and same bizarre flash in filming. The scene would flash in, there would be some screaming, yelling, f bombs, and then, back to the plot. This is one of the worst films I have ever seen in the theatre. Ridiculous plot and amateurish acting. The bulk of actors were unknown to me other than Damon, Foster, and a smattering of others. I cannot recommend this film now or in the future; as I said, one of the worst films I have ever seen. Left me laughing because it was so terrible.
