Its a copycat

Rating: 5/10 (16 August 2013)

Have you ever seen Johnny Mnemonic? *****Johnny Mnemonic Spoilers Ahead***** Other than Matt Damon's back story they are virtually the same movie.
Healthcare is being denied to the masses. Our hero is brought in for one last job despite not having adequate supplies or resources. Both movies feature a storage device that resides in the brain. Both devices have the potential to kill you. Both heroes proceed despite the risk of death. Both movies have advanced bio-metrics to keep the baddies out. Both heroes seek help from a guy named Spider! Both heroes have the same character flaw of being selfish.
The main difference, the acting in Elysium is better. But SOOOO not an original story. Neill Blomkamp should be ashamed for crediting himself as the writer.
