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.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

What can I say? It's the same Hollywood recipe for all movies. Right?They always put the same ingredients in absolutely all of these movies. To try to even list these ingredients over and over in my reviews is moot, so I am just gonna skip it this time.If you pay attention, you'll notice!!On a side note, it started out good, but as soon as we reached mid-point, every Hollywood cliche was fulfilled.

Elysium is the name of an orbiting satellite. It has a controlled environment and is where the rich and powerful live. The United States has been reduced to a land of illegals in an extension of class warfare. Health care is different for the rich than the poor. The "illegals" attempt to go to Elysium to get health care. The film also is an extension of surveillance drones, automated robots, and how computers run the world.In an unusual role Jodi Foster plays Delacourt, the emotionless Secretary of Defense who protects Elysium. At times she is similar to Jack Nicholson in "A Few Good Men" and really needed to be more like him. It was not a good role for her. Matt Damon plays Max in his usual man against the system. After an industrial accident, Max has 5 days to live and opts to join the resistance against the powers of Elysium.I have not read the book, but you can tell from the film that the book was better as there are massive parallels to today's society which most likely the film couldn't incorporate them all. Yet at the same time, I felt a bit bogged down by the overtness of this morality film.Good looking graphics. Good ending. Fair plot. Dialogue needed to be lighter. Politically to the left.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.

With only five days to live after being terminally irradiated, Max must find a quick way to Elysium, a luxurious space station where the rich enjoyed life without worries, in order to receive medical treatment. He agrees to do a job for a local hacker and so, armed with a powerful exoskeleton, he will do whatever he can to save his life and potentially of many others'.It's a sad futuristic world in which everyone is capable of nearly anything to survive. There, Max must use his skills and experience to try and change the situation although he greatly suffers along the way. It looks well, it has a good baseline and some great actors. Unfortunately, due to his condition (in the movie), Matt Damon isn't able to make full use of his action acting, playing sick most of the time and therefore, reducing the awesomeness a bit. It is a bit tense, it creates a bit of suspense but nothing out of the ordinary being pretty linear and predictable. Although it could have had some change of events, it ultimately resorted to melee fighting, man to man which isn't bad, but not great either. Overall, it's a good action sci-fi movie which didn't disappoint but also didn't impress with anything.
