A Bit of a Disappointment

Rating: 6/10 (20 May 2018)

Elysium, while it was not necessarily bad, was a bit disappointing. The special effects in this film look great, from the violence, to Elysium itself. However, the story is not so great. The plot is decent at best, and the character development is very underdone. The relationships between characters were barley explored, and the characters seemed to have next to no emotion. The felt like, in a sense, machines. In my opinion, the best part of the movie by far was Sharlto Copley's Kruger. At the end of the day, the movie was OK, and if you have nothing else to watch, then give it a go. But, I wouldn't be in a rush to see this one.
