Solid action with similarities to District 9

Rating: 7/10 (18 June 2019)

I can see the resemblance to District 9 in story and style however I don't feel this is a weakness. Elysium is immensely entertaining. The action is fantastic and the story solid. Sharlto Copley I feel wasn't as well casted for his role unlike in District 9. Matt Damon played a superb role and Jodie Foster was also convincing. Overall Elysium has brilliant pacing and never bores. Great action sequences in this almost beautiful story of two worlds shadowing each other, the tension mounts later on reaches a conclusive end.
