May be worse movie with Matt Damon AND Jodie Foster

Rating: 3/10 (7 February 2014)

This movie is overly violent and makes little sense. It seems as if Matt Damon was filmed in one movie and Jodie Foster was filmed in another. Jodie Foster, who looks great, seems to be asexual, but Hollywood didn't dare make a statement about Gays/Lesbians, by having Jodie have a female life partner. Matt Damon is just a confused mess.
The Elysium space station set is poorly designed and make little or no sense given the ability to do interesting things in space, but NO, the culture designs track houses on a rotating space station of large size.
Then the technology, oh my gosh, if you think about it, and of course if it was a well written movie you wouldn't notice it, but the screen writer is completely either on drugs or just writing propaganda for the administration (which is fine, but at least do a good job).
Here is the way I see it: 1. Somehow the world community is able to build a large space station that is so large that you can see it completely visible in the daylight. Really? Since it appears to be stationary, it must be in a 25,000 mile orbit. 2. This same world community is unable to fix problems that it faces. 3. People seem to work if they are a criminal and don't if they aren't on the Earth's surface. 4. Surgery can be done in non-sterile environments. 5. Workplace safety is so poor that normal "lock out, tag out" procedures are not followed for closed environments with high radiation doses, something that has been in the workplace for 100 years. 6. Aircraft can somehow get to 25,000 mile orbit in just a few minutes. 7. It is possible to fire a shoulder weapon at a super sonic vehicle and hit it. 8. The ambulance space ships at the end are NOT going to be able to support enough help for the Earth's population, how many could there be?
This is just a mess of a screen play. Watch it for the most excellent acting by Jodie Foster and she LOOKS great. I wish it was possible to edit the film to get rid of the Matt Damon part and just have Jodie foster.
It's a piece of junk, but looks good, sort of. If you need an overly violent movie then this one is for you.
