A beautiful and cleverly conceived story and a good message

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2019)

Elysium is a Sci-Fi film that is directed by Neil Blomkamp the director of District 9. Elysium takes place in the year 2154. The earth is an overpopulated mess, allowing the rich people to have a kind of space station called Elysium. At Elysium live only the better people, who have their luxury food and drinks and where classical music is played. They also have the best medicines at Elysium and a machine that can treat all diseases and can replace lost body parts.
Only poor, poorer people live on the earth, who do all the hard work there. Matt Damon's character, Max Works in a factory and tries to improve his life and eventually to Elysium. After an accident, his body gets weakened. He thinks his only salvation can be found at Elysium. With the help of his friends, he gets a robot implantation, which brings him back to strength. With his new implant he tries to enter Elysium. Jodie Foster's character finds out what Max is up to and sends an agent behind him to stop him. The agent named Kruger is a crazy maniac who will do everything to prevent Max from coming to Elysium.
The film has great effects and a good cast. All actors play their part great. The best actor is Sharlo Copley. In District 9 he plays an ordinary agent who makes some changes, but in Elysium he plays a dangerous maniac. Sharlo Copley steals the show in Elysium. I would definitely like to see Sharlo Copley again in more films.
Elysium is a great Sci-Fi with a beautiful story a good cast and leaves just like District 9 a message. You can see that Neil Blomkamp is a director who puts passion into his films.
It is a Sci-Fi that tour is rendered in a realistic way, making you think that the world could look like this in 2154
