So many plot holes

Rating: 4/10 (7 August 2013)

Just saw this in an advance screening, and wasted two hours. The biggest issue I had with the movie was that the characters were not sympathetic at all on any level. I could care less if the characters arrived on Elysium and in fact was hoping they wouldn't. There were so many glaring plot holes or things that were left unexplained. Like why did there seem to be zero vegetation on earth for the overpopulated earth citizens. Also the Kruger character was an absolute joke. He was a cross between Freddy Krueger and Brad Pitt in Snatch. He made nonstop commentary that you could only understand half the time. This movie tried to go action over plot and character, which could have been fine if not for the close up shaky cam. During most of the fight scenes you couldn't tell who was winning losing or being thrown against a wall. The movie was not worth the time, and I am glad that the pass was free. Do not bother with it.
