Predictable Garbage!

Rating: 2/10 (21 March 2017)

Where the devil a budget of $115 Million went, one can only speculate - what It certainly wasn't spent on Is originality. Should It have been called HALO, after the game, which Is clearly the Inspiration for the ludicrous "Elysium" satellite\Space Station\off-world Earth or whatever you want to call It? (not that we see much detail of It In any case). There's not so much as a mention of how the whole thing works. Then we have the "Exo-skeleton", ripped of almost to the last screw and rivet from "Return of the living dead 3"! Even the "Flying Discs" look suspiciously similar to those on the "Darwin IV" documentary (about robotic rovers scouting an earth-like planet).The Plastic craft In which "Carlyle" meets his doom looked like It had been borrowed from a fairground As for the concept of a surgical operation performed by a filthy Individual,on a filthy Individual,In a filthy room, with an "exo-skeleton" powered by absolutely nothing and surgically attached over the worlds dirtiest T-shirt - by that point I was laughing to the point of almost being sick. It's two days since I watched It and I'm still waiting for something to happen. The less said about the actors the better - but what can you do with a script like that? Jodie Foster In particular was totally miscast, although Sharlto Copely as Kruger showed his range of talent (compare with his character, Wikus van der Merwe,In "District 9"). Okay for the under 12 bracket (who,however, can't "legally" see It, of course) but for Science Fiction aficionados, It's Just another very poor, seen-It-all-before Movie than only those with nerves of steel and a stomach of Iron could watch a second time.
