Amazing visual effects, but lacking a good story.

Rating: 6/10 (8 December 2014)

I have to give this movie at least 6/10 for the amazing visual effects and the beautiful Elysium. Elysium was really awesome looking, a good idea in that matter, everything looked extremely high-tech and the mansions were awesome, unfortunately the movie didn't get much into showing around Elysium.
In my opinion the story was not great, it was kind of dull and 100% predictable, not so much action for a sci-fi movie as well. In a movie like this nobody wants to see an old, scared man fighting for a super wealthy high-tech space city, he seems completely irrelevant and was not needed, they could have substituted him with anything else.
What bothers me the most about this movie - They show a torn up Los Angeles, and guess what? 99% of the population is Mexican, really? Really, Hollywood? That is very disrespectful, showing a bunch of poor scum living on a destroyed earth and they are all Mexican? That is racist and i just couldn't get along with this idea. Also, everybody on earth is partying, drinking alcohol like 24/7, very few people work, how the hell can they sustain themselves? Where do they get the alcohol, it falls from the sky? That was very illogical too. About spiders base - Yeah a poor, again, Mexican neighbourhood, yet they have space shuttles, that can easily fly to Elysium without a problem, super advanced computers, etc. Yea it is year 2154, but that doesn't make sense whatsoever.
