This movie captured the very essence of rudimentary desperation very well

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2014)

2154 Los Angeles will look even worse than most third world cities look now? Scary thought.
The film captured the height of desperation exceptionally well. What with; Kruger & all other sleeper cells: desperate to keep preferential treatment in order to stage an eventual military takeover of Elysium.
Dacosta: desperate to go to Elysium.
Delacourt: desperate to stage a coup on Elysium.
Carlyle: desperate to save his company on Earth.
Frey: desperate to save her child.
Spyder: desperate for the ultimate hacking job in order to save Earth. And so on and so forth.
Great acting by Matt Damon and the sensational Jodie Foster (this woman gives Oscar worthy performances in every frame of every film she appears in) the film is definitely a spectacle to behold.
