Wanted this to be a good movie, but not this time

Rating: 6/10 (14 August 2013)

I really wanted this to be a good movie. When it ended it felt like I missed half of it. I felt a little empty, you could say.
The point of the movie (through 3/4th of it) was Matt Damon's character needing to get to Elysium because he's sick. Then in the last 20 minutes he dies and the little girl gets cured. When that happened I felt like saying...Why the heck did they do that. When you see a movie there's a built up of anticipation, especially an action movie. Everything should tie in together-the beginning, middle and end. Why did they throw in the idea of the girl getting cured at the VERY last moment. The point was that HE get cured.
The movie should have just been about Matt Damon getting to there to save the little girl. There would have been 1 solid plot and it could get carried out by getting her there, like he did anyways.
There could have been more action. What was there was good don't get me wrong. I wish Matt Damon wasn't sick through most of the movie. That's not very exciting to watch. They should have given Jodie Foster more screen time. The beginning was a yawn. My dad and brother really liked it though.
