Not bad but no district 9

Rating: 7/10 (21 August 2013)

Elysium isn't a bad movie just a disappointing movie. Being the Neil blokamp fan that i am i felt a little disappointing at the fact that after months wait YEARS for a movie to top one of my most highly rated sci fi films of all time (District 9) It didn't come, But i still hold hope chappie will be better As I've said its not bad, its exactly what i expect in some respect from Neil blokamp a futuristic thriller with lots of turns and a deep driving political message underneath, But it lacked character interaction. Jodie foster could of been written out of the plot entirely without anyone noticing, she was there as a name to promote, The film looked beautiful from a CGI perspective but i felt some of the action lacked what i wanted it to, E.g the Exo suits weren't quite what i was expecting i was looking for something with some far better fast pacing I loved the soundtrack and the cinematography was really good in lots of places but it still lacked what i wanted from this film Thats why i only rated it 7 out of 10
