Rubbish

Rating: 2/10 (31 August 2013)

I loved District 9 - and everything that I had seen Matt Damon in, so I really wanted to like this. But its boring, the dialogue is wooden and the story line weak.
Somehow I felt like I was on the set of the film - rather than immersed in the story.
The metaphors are very crude. There is insufficient time spent on the Elysium satellite to make it seem real, the factory owner is a pantomime villain.
I almost left before the end. And what has happened to Jodie Foster? She was terrible too!
