Terriblium

Before I begin criticizing this title harshly, let's take a trip to the 1870's (about 150 years in the past from now)In 1870's, the telephone (its most basic form) and the first camera were invented. Invention of the light bulb happened in this time period as well. Jules Verne published "Around the world in 80 days" so we can say that hot-air balloons were becoming popular for air travel as planes did not exist. If we compare the 1870's to our time, we can clearly that technology evolved greatly. Now, let's go forward in time to the year 2154 AD. How would you expect the world to be? Taking into consideration the previous 150 years (from 1870's to 2013),you'll probably expect scientific breakthroughs, settlements on other galaxies, drastic changes in people's lifestyles (and clothing), right? Well, according to Elysium's world, nothing will change except that tanning beds will be transformed and become med-beds to heal rich people of all kinds of sickness. It's a pity that these beds weren't modified to treat disappointment as well. This would have been great after watching films like this. Apart from tanning beds, bicycle handlebars will also find another use in the future, as exoskeleton parts! The world of 2154 shouldn't have been pictured like this. Now, let's take a sneak peek into the characters: Errr...,well, there aren't any!I mean, there are people acting in the film but they can't be considered as characters. The definition of character is "the mental, ethical and moral qualities of a person" In conclusion, I think this film was a bad mixture of "Total Recall (original version) and "Johnny Mnemonic". Unfortunately, the mixture didn't work.
