District 9 - Fresh & Engaging!! | Elysium - Old & Tired

Rating: 4/10 (24 September 2013)

Oi! What happened ya, Mr Neill Blomkamp?!
Are you at all the same person who conceived and realized District 9?
Are you now Mr Campie Kamp?
The money and studio execs getting the better of you ya?
Why all the tired cliché?
Why all the cut-n-paste cartoon characters?
Why all the silly disposable technology that makes no sense?
Why all the horrendous uninspiring mundane scripting?
Why all the mindless plot loopholes?
Why all the miscasting?
Jodie Foster - what a washout - bland, boring - her non-performance here is convincing me she's just a one-dimensional actor - basically just playing herself all the time .... just that herself worked well in the movies where herself worked well. No more, no less.
Matt Damon - even his earnest characterization can't save the laughable idea of doing major spinal surgery while wearing the same dirty T-shirt all the time before, during, and post surgery ... what crock!
Sharlto Copley - like him but unfortunately he too got thrown into Scooby-Doo villain mode
Oi - Mr Neill Blomkamp - go back to base camp and re-birth yourself! Hopefully your next outing will redeem your brilliance gone AWOL this round.
