Good film worth a watch

Rating: 8/10 (2 September 2013)

I went for an evening out at the cinema had previously seen the trailers for Elysium and this was a film I had been interested in seeing as I have been a huge fan of the Bourne Trilogy and some of Matt Damon's other work.
I was very impressed with the film for a number of reasons. Firstly, I would like to start with the theme as a whole. I thought that it was relatively new and original, however I would admit to not watching that many futuristic Sci-Fis before. I thought that the whole theme tied in perfectly with the unpredictability of the story. Personally, I think that the originality was the film's strong point. It was very hard to figure out what was going to happen next as something else normally happened in my case, when I tried guessing. Additionally, I was very impressed with the graphics, I personally have never seen graphics that looks as good as that, I thought that the Elysium itself look almost real. Finally there were many good action scenes in there that were both different and gory at times and they used both the combination of Brains and Brawn.
Overall I thought that the film was pretty decent and would recommend watching it, however, it's unlikely to be your choice for Film of the Year.
