Cliched epic

Rating: Null/10 (7 May 2000)

I liked the comment of one reviewer, who said that scenes of Elysium were like "a luxury car commercial". So true, I kept expecting a disembodied voice to say, 'try the new Chariot Romanus, id est optimus!'
Someone poured millions into this and hired a competent director, a competent, sullen actor and competent script writer, and they all made a movie which I reluctantly went to see and now wish I hadn't wasted two hours of my priceless 3 score and 10. I learn slowly, but I'm learning....
