Kind of a let down

Rating: 5/10 (8 April 2016)

I was expecting more and better than what I got with 2013's Elysium. The cast wasn't bad, in fact, I think Foster and Damon gave good performances and had pretty good on screen chemistry together. The issue I took with Elysium, was the poor writing and sorta weak plot summary. The plot summary and execution of it was pretty run of the mill, and formulaic. I would've appreciated a little more creativity and or originality. This movie was all around a pretty boring experience, it just simply did not entertain me. Jodie Foster was good, she looked stunning in her wardrobe and is impressively good for her age. Matt Damon was alright I guess, he was tough in the action sequences, which is nice, but he lacked some when he wasn't blowing up s**t. The rest of the cast is OK, nothing too bad. Elysium could've and should've been better than it is. 5/10 for Elysium.
