A well thought of Sci fi

Rating: 8/10 (18 August 2013)

Unlike many of the harsh comments and reviews I read about this movie, I found the movie quite entertaining and relevant.
I watched this movie last day in Sydney. I have to admit that I went to theater to see a District 9 kind of movie and came quite satisfied with what Elysium had offered. District 9, in its essence, painted the apartheid in Africa with a extraterrestrial brush. Elysium painted the refugee and immigration ugliness with the future and did a good job in doing so. What would happen if the entire earth becomes a refugee camp!.
The computer graphics were pretty impressive. Elysium (the city) was a piece of art and the space ships looked cool and realistic. Acting was generally above par and captivating at times. Matt looked very believable and he had that balance in acting without overdoing. Blomkamp, I believe, fitted the whole thing together marvelously as he has done with the District 9. However, I really dint like Fosters acting. She looked a bit misplaced and found struggling to express at many places.
This movie is definitely worth of the money and I would recommend it to anyone as I did to my friends.
