Elysium Review.

Rating: 8/10 (10 August 2013)

Elysium is a good movie because of the special effects, an entertaining plot line, and Sharlto Copley's acting as character Kruger. This movie, like District 9 before it, has amazing and realistic special effects and direction for that matter. Neill Blomkamp has a style that is unmatched. His movies are futuristic, beautiful, and strikingly realistic looking. The plot line of Elysium my be interpreted as left leaning in that it is about equality and caring for everyone. I thought that the film to a story that should be told in a creative and action-packed method. Lastly, Sharlto Copley is the best there is. Maybe it's just my sick sense of humor, but there is no better villain than the character Kruger, played by Copley. He is convincingly evil while incredibly likable, which creates a great villain. In the end I am almost rooting for Kruger. His actions are totally unpredictable. He stole every scene. The movie is worth seeing for Copley's performance alone.
