Overview
In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes, a hard line government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn’t stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that, if successful, will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.

Viewing Notes
Meh.
I didn’t feel as negatively towards this film as some of my friends, but it’s definitely not great. The story is, mostly, boring and full of holes. You don’t really care for anyone… but, but, but… pretty. Not sure what part of the Blomkamp camp it is - or if it’s the whole lot of them - but he knows how to shoot some CGI. the visuals are breathtaking at times and nothing seems fake. Even better than in DISTRICT 9, and that’s saying something.
