This movie is lacking

Rating: 4/10 (10 August 2013)

This movie is lacking an explanation as to why the privileged want to live full time in a space station considering the enormous risks of living in outer space like radiation exposure, loss of eyesight, loss of muscle mass, and space motion sickness.
The sheer cost of maintaining a space habitat with artificial gravity, a breathable atmosphere, radiation protection, etc would be immense. Earth has all these nice things built in to it and it is also much larger then a space station.
As such, in order for it to be reasonable to maintain a habitat in outer space rather then one on Earth it must be the case that the Earth is really messed up such as with the sky scorched like in the Matrix or something equally terrible.
In this movie people are going about their daily lives on Earth and they have food, water, sunlight, air and all the other necessities provided for. Therefore, the premise of this movie that the privileged would live on a space habitat makes no sense. This movie is lacking an explanation in why things are this way so nothing really makes sense.
One of the fundamental points in this movie is that in the space station they have futuristic medical technology that can cure any sickness essentially instantly. This movie is also lacking any explanation as to how the people on the space station can maintain a monopoly on such advanced technology or why they would even want to so that whole element of the plot doesn't make much sense either.
Besides these major elements that this story is lacking I feel this story is also lacking some explanation as to what happened to Max between when he was a child and when he was an adult. They just show Max as a child and then they switch to him as a tattooed adult with only brief mentions of his past later on. Well this movie wasn't all bad I feel it may have been more interesting to see the elements of Max's past this film was lacking like his car thefts rather then bothering with the plot about a space station which lacks a decent explanation as to its existence.
