Worst movie since The Wolfman with Benicio Del Toro

Rating: 1/10 (14 August 2013)

I strongly advise against seeing the movie Elysium. I haven't seen something that bad since "The Wolfman" with Benicio Del Toro in 2010. Shame on Jodie Foster for acting so poorly and having a totally laughable accent. Matt Damon needs to assess what scripts he will support. Elysium enters the Top 10 worst movies I have ever seen.
None of the characters are believable. Remember, people, a movie starts and finishes on the story and the pathos the audience has for the characters. The storyline is a flawed patchwork of logic-free nonsense, especially toward the end of the film. The weaknesses just keep adding up on this monstrosity of sophomore filmmaking. What a waste of great technical effects! If this is state of the art sci-fi, I would rather watch The Valley of Gwangi. At least with that movie I get to laugh at the campiness.
There is no chemistry between Damon and his love interest whatsoever. The acting ranges from grossly overacted, like when we first meet Spider, Diego Luna's character, to catatonic drudgery, most of the shots of Jodie Foster.
And, by the way, when you blow off 2/3 of a guy's face and expect me to believe that his brain function is "normal" after being in that condition for about 10 minutes, then you are completely insane. That is not left to "suspended disbelief", but ranks amongst the script idiocies like how a shark can outrun a jet, like in Jaws IV (or V, can't remember). Neil Blomkamp should be run out of Hollywood on a rail. This is the second attempt at a movie he has made, and while District 9 may have been watchable, it was excessively boring for a sci- fi. This travesty called Elysium is totally without merit.
I'm sure the checks all cleared the bank, but Damon and Foster should not sleep well at night after this fiasco. Their careers should be in question now that they have decided that this is the kind of trite that they are okay starring in. This is 109 minutes of my life that I will never get back. Damon's character had 5 days. Too bad. He should have had 5 minutes.
Interesting to note that Diego Luna entered the movie without reading the script. I wonder if Damon read it? Is this the type of movie that the guy who wrote and starred in Good Will Hunting is up to now? Sad.
