Ridiculous...

Rating: 1/10 (9 August 2013)

Once again Neil Blomkamp stuffs a political pill in the center of a doughy ball and presents it as tasty science fiction treat. This is Neil's second attempt at story telling subterfuge; first time was with District 9's South Africa's Apartheid issue and now again with his personal view on America's immigration policy in Elysium. This is the last time I'm sucked into Blomkamp's shinny lights of a sci-fi flick only to be duped with his personal political opinions. Oh by the way the movie wasn't even good. Please don't misunderstand me, apartheid and immigration are real issues that deserve serious attention, but I go to the movies to take a break from them not be subjected to your personal opinion of them Neil, I watch the news for that. If you really feel the need to see this movie, save yourself the dime and rent District 9, Elysium recycles most of its props, scenes, agendas and originally from there.
