A surprisingly brilliant movie!

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2013)

I was not expecting much from this movie at all, I conceded to go because my husband really wanted to watch it. Whereas I am very pessimistic when it comes to new movies as usually they are unoriginal and unexciting and I hadn't seen a good science fiction in a long while. Though Elysium has a lot of action scenes it is still very much a science fiction film. The vision of the future was very realistic and the grit of the film gave me the feeling that what was happening could really happen. Elysium is a brilliant film, sometimes hard to watch but the fact that it could make me feel so emotional I think is the mark of a well made movie. If you like science fiction or action this is a fantastic movie and I highly recommend it.
