A story with too many loose ends, a plot with very few explanations but acting and CGI that was a beauty to look at.

Elysium

Set in a future Australia, the peasants from Indonesia (Earth) attempt asylum via space boats on our luscious shores (outer space station). Tony Abbott (played by Jodie Foster) engages in fierce battle to stop the boats. One tactic Abbott employs is by dropping an internet filter, crippling Indonesia’s online infrastructure. 7/10

It's a visually stunning film and the soundtrack is just awesome! I thought both the acting and story was solid. Matt Damon did a good job, and Sharlto Copley's character was quite a unique take on a bad guy to say the least. I had a hard time cheering for Matt Damon also, but that was the point as well.
I especially loved all the different types of dialects that was used in the movie. I really like what Neil Blomkamp brings to the table. He has his own type of style.

Michael J Fox really shouldn't be operating a camera.

B- story. A+ visuals, action and performances.
There's enough material in here for 3 or 4 movies. Not sure if that's good or bad, but it's definitely fun!

The eight years since this was made, and the social schisms that COVID-19 has highlighted, have been kind to this film. What seemed over the top then is now all too believable.

I enjoyed the movie, wasn't as good as District 9 but still great. But the best thing about this movie is that it's got 5 seasons of Narcos hidden inside it.

Is it a Sci-Fi movie? Yes! Is it an action movie? It gets to it. Is it an epic Sci-Fi action movie? Yes. It is epic! It's definitely a must watch. Watch this film with an open mind, and you will not be disappointed.

Elysium has an interesting concept but the story could have been better developed. It's stunning to look at, the CGI was great and all of that world really looked real! The visuals are perfectly done!
Matt Damon was a decent protagonist but is Sharlto Copley that really shines in this film! He was a great villian, so creepy! Amazing work from him.

Many controversial topics are addressed like politics, health care, immigration and power of the rich and the weakness of the poor. Money does rule the world and that is the main focus of the film with a huge critic to society.

My main complains about the film were some of the action scenes that were shaky and let me a little bit dizzy. (Anyone please can clarify me if that happens a lot in these new action films because of the use of IMAX cameras? Is that the main reason? I guess that didn't happened often...at least I didn't notice all of that trembling before)
Also a lot of clichès were used in the story, specially when the film is coming to the end.

Overall, good action and good visuals. I had some troubles about the rating that I would give it because theres bad things about it but I really give many credits to the visuals that are amazing! I hate bad CGI and this was perfect! But afterall the story is the most important thing.

Had high hopes for this Sci-Fi action flick but was severely disappointed: the plot is shallow and predictable, I found not one of the characters authentic and neither acting, special effects nor the action sequences were above average.

I would suggest to skip Elysium and watch something like Star Wars - The Force Awakens or Matrix instead if you are in the mood for a SciFi action flick!

Doesn't quite reach up to "District 9" but I wonder If I would see this differently had this been Blomkamp's first major release. It's still good sci-fi-action that seems believable and deals, again, with social issues. I found Kruger to be a bit over the top but Copley said that was intentional because it shouldn't be too serious. So, it is what it is. Jodie Foster is a great actress and I like her a lot but she wasn't 100 % convincing as the villain. Maybe it's because I am not used seeing her in a role like that.
[spoiler] What I really like about the movie is the absence of a Hollywood happy end where the hero gets the girl and they live happily ever after. That is rare in a movie. And you don't need it. The movie ends on a hopeful note. Althought I was wondering, hypothetically, if letting everyone on Elysium, does that mean it will ultimately suffer the same fate as Earth did. But I guess one has to imagine that mankind can change for the better. [/spoiler]

An interesting SF film where the filmmakers made some poor, oddball choices. A+ design work.

Just a regular movie, but Sharlto Colper is excellent in his role. Amazing acting.
