Copley steals the movie!

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 2013)

I was excited to see this one because Neill Blomkamp made a fan out of me with "District 9" and I was pleasantly surprised to see he made another epically awesome sci-fi film! The story is just awesome and has all the elements of an addicting formula. The characters are fun, the performances are great and the action is so gritty and awesome that I wanted more of it.
If the movie had any problems, it's the fact that the story is a little chaotic as it will shift gears and alter course abruptly during its running time and some of the characters felt like they needed more development. However, the bad in this film is so small that it didn't stop me from loving every second.
Finally, while Matt Damon was great as Max, it was Sharlto Copley that stole the movie as Kruger. His character was so psychotic, so tough and so interesting that I wanted to see more of him and I would actually pay money for a Kickstarter fund to see him get his own film that tells his story.
Overall, "Elysium" is a great movie!
