Elysium gets a high recommendation from me

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2013)

Since my movie theatre-working friend was off today, and this was the only movie I hadn't seen that was still playing that I wanted to see, this was what we chose. We both thought it was better than expected with plenty of great action scenes, a good Sci-Fi story, and many fine emotional moments concerning a lady friend of Matt Damon and her daughter that he ends up helping in a big way. Oh, and Jodie Foster as one of the villains was also quite compelling to watch. Things move along at quite a fast pace but not too much so that you couldn't understand what's going on if you pay close attention to the quite descriptive dialogue. So on that note, I highly recommend Elysium.
