It should be called "Mediacare"

Rating: 1/10 (24 November 2013)

One of the worst "sci-fi" flicks I have ever seen. Give me Transformers 4 anytime. Not only it's childishly silly in its politics, but the plot has more holes in it than a Swiss cheese (which tastes better). Things happen just because, to please the poor scriptwriter (who's also the movie's director - apparently he couldn't find anyone else to shoot the thing). In a "fascist" universe people come and go as they please. There's a whole underground society with the highest technology available. One wonders why they don't use it to cure these poor children. The ships going from Earth to Elysium get shot down or get in, whatever the story needs. A highly trained, clever technician gets hurt in a way a 10 years old child wouldn't. And then we have these heartrending memories of childhood in slo-mo, loads of them, with music, of course. BTW : the score is laughable. And I have never seen Jodie Foster that bad. She's a great actress, but if she can pretend to be that bad, it means genius.
