Don't Waste Your Money-Unless you're a Self-Loathing Occupy Protester

Rating: 3/10 (9 August 2013)

Normally I can set aside politics, otherwise, I couldn't listen to most music or see most movies. But, Elysium was a total over the top piece of liberal garbage. When, at basically the beginning of the film, they had Police Robots programmed with Police Brutality breaking a guy's arm because he swore at them, I knew I was in trouble. I almost walked out and I probably should have.
The special effects and the visuals were pretty amazing. That was overshadowed by the lack of depth in the characters. Also, the overdubbing of Jodie Foster's lines was so badly out of sync the entire movie, I cringed every time she came on screen and got ready to speak.

SPOILER ALERT! Do Not Read Below if you are a Self-Loather and want to see this movie!

Here is an overview: Elysium = United States, Earth = The Third World, Los Angeles has been turned into a shanty town where they raise poor uneducated white kids in Catholic orphanages, Earth Police force are now robots programmed with Police Brutality to oppress 'Illegals', OSHA is gone so factory jobs are all hazardous to your health, 'Illegals' have factory jobs building the robot Police that oppress them, Evil factory owners think bed sheets are more valuable than fatally wounded workers, Rich educated Elysium people (who speak French) are hogging HealthCare, 'Illegals' on Earth (who speak Spanish) want to become 'Legal' and get Free HealthCare, 'Illegals' on Earth pay Smugglers to get Fake IDs and transport, the Evil Defense Department and Homeland Security use Evil Sadistic Lunatic Rapist Murder Military "Contractors" to blow up 'Illegals' and stick survivor 'Illegals' in cages until they can be deported, 'Illegals' overcome and get Citizenship and Free HealthCare.
I think that about sums it up. Enjoy.
