Best movie of the summer

Rating: 9/10 (15 August 2013)

So if you are a fan of District 9 and wonder "Was Neill Blomkamp a fluke" well here is your answer and it is a hell no thrown down with authority.
The movie is visually stunning and like District 9 a less than subtle view on the world today. The wealth disparity has become so massive that the wealthy have moved to a massive space station called Elysium while the pour are on a broken earth building the massive cybernetic army that keeps them out when out hero is struck with a massive dose of radiation due to working at one of the factories that make them so he is off to Elysium.
This this a good reason the movie stay interesting and keep you engaged Blomcamp could have just said "Yeah you know the guys on Earth are sick of being repressed so they rebel" but no our hero is out to cure himself due to a sickness that is directly caused by the denizens of Elysium who make every effort to keep him out and so the is real tension and many of the tired tropes do not come of as boring. So yeah welcome a new Sci-if up and comer.
