IMAX made this movie.

Rating: 7/10 (15 August 2013)

I love Matt D. and most of his movies. This was a great storyline/concept but was not executed well. Although this was a Sy-fy, and enjoy them, there were many loopholes in the story that annoyed me. For example, Max is dying from radiation but with the exoskeleton he becomes mega-strong, really? Secondly, Max denying the plea of help from dying Matilda was not believable. Lastly, no one attempted to blow up other shuttles leaving Earth to go to Elysium was attempted before the CEO left in the movie, really? Lame.
Watching this movie on IMAX was unreal. The special effects were fantastic and watching it on a 6-story screen in an IMAX theater made it extra-special! On a regular screen, this would not be nearly as good. The sound editing was phenomenal and again IMAX made it wonderful.
Jodie Foster's ridiculous accent in the movie made me laugh. No one thought to over ride the security system to Elysium before Max's attempt before? Again, not believable.
Wait for DVD but you will not be able to enjoy the wonderful special & sound effects as you would in an IMAX theater. I would give this movie a rating of 6 if I saw on a regular movie theater.
