Elysium movie review!

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2013)

Elysium is the newest film from director Neill Blomkamp the director of one of my all time favourites District 9 and i got to see this film a few days before initial release and i was literally sitting in my seat and i was just thinking "I Get to See Elysium Before Most People.....Awesome!" But 2 hours later i left the theatre and my jaw was on the floor.
Elysium was one of my most anticipated films of 2013 and this film absolutely did not disappoint! Elysium is an absolute visual masterpiece. The director really knows how to make his visuals look realistic. The acting is also great. The performance that really stole the show was Sharlto Copely as Agent Kruger. The character feels just nasty and brutal. The performance i felt was the weakest was Jody Foster as that old lady who isn't very nice (i can't remember her name) she felt very shoehorned into the movie and i thought her character was just flat out boring. The film also has terrific action scenes that are very well filmed. I personally was a really big fan of this film and i went to see it 3 times in theatres. Elysium is a terrific sci-fi film with a amazing performance from Sharlto Copely and a brilliant story.
