Politicized version of WALL-E

Rating: 4/10 (5 October 2018)

Take the basic plot of WALL-E, but with less backstory, a cheesy script, and a highly politicized agenda, and you have Elysium. The whole movie is a tirade about the necessity of open borders and universal health care. It is not subtle. Some of the actors cannot seem to get their accents straight. The script is poorly written. The villians are one dimensional. Matt Damon's character is the only one with even a shred of backstory, and even his is scant. Really, just go watch WALL-E. And follow it up with James Bond if you want the action component.
