Weak on all levels, certainly not 7.1, more like 4.6. Not a real spoiler, better read it.

Rating: 1/10 (20 August 2013)

I'm a fan of Jodie Foster and even a fan of few of Matt Damon's movies, so making the choice to watch this movie was no-brainer. Unfortunately everything starts bad, continues to grow into worse and it ends up disastrous.
My biggest problem here was the screenplay, it's like the author has never read a book in his/her life and was in a hurry to write the script. In the year of 2013 with such premium actors you would expect better lines than "I will find you, I will hunt you down" from the cacky British negative hero.
Shallow lines, not following on the actors pre-story. Mat Damon is supposed to be some car-thief legend, yet he speaks like a coward most of the time, lives like a rat and uses "man" too much, his bold head is repulsive and along with the tattoos he looks like Neo Nazi more than ex keep-it-cool car thief, but trust me the real disappointment here are the lines he had to act on in the movie...
He was a legend thief - 3 seconds later - now he works in a dumpster-like factory.
He has a childhood girlfriend - 5 seconds later she has kid, he doesn't keep in touch anymore. 5 seconds later the kid is sick and dying. 5 seconds later after 20 years he is in her house, 5 seconds later he leaves, refuses to help kid.
They overthrow the richest community in the world with 2 guys, who are no "expendables" heroes they are just ghetto thugs. It's like the rich people would not pay to be protected by at least 100 soldiers... On the whole Elysium there were like 2 droids...
The president William Fichtner looks more like a wedding planner than a creator of Elysium, his death was meaningless and the bad kind of Unexpected. The death of Jodie Foster was even worse, the whole idea of Elysium was that you don't get sick and you live well, yet she refuses without following her negative character to be helped...
If you ever watched Bornes Ultimacy, silence of the lambs and similar movies where Jodie and Matt are big deal, don't get fooled, this movie will only ruin your image of them and you will surely watch more than a trailer before you jump into the next movie with them.
