I can't believe a great talent like Jodie Foster starred in this movie

Rating: 2/10 (11 August 2013)

The metaphor works like this: Elysium is the United States and the earth is Mexico. The people on earth are trying to run across the boarder (low earth orbit) to Elysium to get free health care. OMG. Are you joking. I could understand if Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in the film, I mean his scripts are written in crayon, right? But not the great talent, Jodie Foster. What was she thinking? The plot had more holes than a colander. The 2 dimensional and unimaginative writers do nothing to develop the characters in fact there is a scene were the president of Elysium himself chases down a terrorist. What? Little or no time is given to the people of Elysium much less Jodie Foster's character who only has a hand full of speaking parts. The only reason I went to see this movie was to see Jodie Foster knock one out of the park, again. She is so talented and has always been very selective about the films she stars in. They either cut out a lot of her parts or paid her a lot of money to act in this poorly thought out film. If you have to see this movie either wait two weeks for it to go to the cheap theaters or a couple of months to get on Net Flix. Not worth the money. Sorry Jodie.
