The movie is OK for a sci-fi/action

Rating: 7/10 (14 October 2013)

Elysium had some refreshing ideas about how the future could look like and I am positively surprised about the background story of the life on earth in contradiction to the life on Elysium. It is a parallel to today's life and makes you think about how the life could be if it develops further in that direction. The visuals and the sci-fi elements are good. Some technological inventions are ingenious like the chips that are attached to a human brain where the data could be up/downloaded via a USB cable :D It has some great action elements, which are sometimes easily predictable. Also I wasn't very stunned by the acting performances. The development of the love story is somewhat boring and lacks emotion, it is unfinished and undeveloped. All in all it is worth watching for everybody who likes sci-fi movies.
