Very good and worth watching movie

Rating: 9/10 (29 August 2013)

I must say that I was really looking forward to seeing this movie, even though many comments on the internet said it is not so worth watching. I'm still wondering what people disliked so much about the movie because I really liked it and wasn't disappointed at all - my expectations were fulfilled and I enjoyed every moment of Elysium.
The movie kept me on edge of my seat since its beginning to the end, it made me hold my breath few times while watching it and I can't remember a moment when I was bored - the story was fluent and kept me interested in it for the whole screening. It was shorter than most movies today, 109 minutes may seem to be not enough for a huge movie like this but I'm glad it's not longer - as I said before, the story evolved and had no 'lazy' and uninteresting moments, it didn't concentrate on unimportant details and told only things that were needed.
There was so much to look at, so much to experience - visual effects and the environment/surroundings were amazing, camera work very good, soundtrack stunning (I can't stop listening to it since seeing the movie), and actors did a great work too. It's one of the best sci-fi movies I've recently seen and I can recommend to everyone to go and see it.
I liked that the main characters weren't perfect examples of bravery or leadership or whatever comes to your mind when you say a 'perfect human being', they were quite natural and believable. Matt Damon's Max was selfish and maybe a bit coward too at the beginning of the movie. Jodie Foster's Delacourt maybe seemed to care only about good and peaceful life on Elysium, but she also thought about her own career and own interests. Max wasn't only a hero and Delacourt wasn't only a villain, they were humans with both good and bad in them.
In my opinion, the whole crew made an excellent movie that is definitely worth watching. One point down from total 10 for few cliché moments that seem to sneak into every (even the best) movie nowadays - those clichés for me include this story of little kid Max who promised to take everyone to Elysium or the farewell scene with sad music on the background and typical 'I'm-sorry-goodbye-speech'.
To sum up, the movie left me astonished when it ended up and yes, I consider it to be a very good movie ;)
