Pathetic SciFi

Rating: 1/10 (10 August 2013)

As Sci Fi fans we looked forward to the premiere of Elysium. It was awful. it was a pathetic and expensive attempt by Blomkamp to stuff his values and political agenda down our throat. Elysium succeeded in eclipsing the performance of Matt Damon and Jodi Foster with loud noises, expensive special effects and bad science. ( Our I-Max theater was extremely loud, we spoke to management about it, "Sorry it is an I-Max film, we can't change the volume setting') A human punching a well armored Robot ? (Come on!) hand grenade goes off in the passenger compartment of a space ship and only one person is hurt, crash landing a space ship onto the Elysium space station and people survive a crash that tears up 200 yards of space station (give me a break); space craft go to full forward thrust to land?? A lot of bad science. and poorly executed Special effects. Wait for the video.
