Elysium is like a better Johnny Mnemonic

Rating: Null/10 (15 December 2013)

If you ever saw the movie Johnny Mnemonic, you might like Elysium. I loved both. They aren't identical but they do share some of the more common objectives. Chips in people's brains with *needed* information that could save entire populations, lonely childhood, lost love, crazy guy killer, futuristic society, lead guy's impending death looming over the entire film, and the big bad evil corporations trying to keep the rich and the poor forever separated.(There is even a guy named Spider in both films, though they don't play *exactly* the same role).
Thankfully Matt Damon's character is much more likable than Keanu. Honestly, I felt like someone took some basic bones from JM, ran with it, and made it better. which is something Id always hoped would happen.
Don't worry, there's no super awesome intelligent dolphin in Elysium.
