Science-fiction fans always have new titles on the big
screen to love... or hate. The new option is the film 'ELYSIUM'.
By Staff
From director Neill Blomkamp (you may remember his previous
film 'District 9') ELYSIUM shows a world completely divided. Or maybe we should
say two worlds. The lower classes live on Earth; people that have to struggle
day in and day out to lead a dignified life or simply make ends meet,
especially when they have to deal with barely the minimum as far as health and
wellbeing is concerned. Up above, literally in space, is where the rich live,
the ones that had the money to purchase a luxury home in a new place called
"Elysium" and live carefree; including being able to push a button
and get rid of any disease and/or health concern.
When 'Max', played by Matt Damon, has an accident and his
life is in jeopardy, he puts all fear aside and makes his mind up to do
everything in his power to go to the place he and everyone he loves have been
barred from.
This is where the fun begins. Max obtains information that
could stop all of Earth's habitants misery and, at the same time, try and save
his life. To get onboard the ship that will take him to face his destiny, he
must first face 'Kruger', played by Sharlto Copley, a mercenary following
orders from 'Delacourt', played by Jodie Foster, the top-security chief in
Elysium.
The story isn't something precisely new, we've seen
something like it before, but the special effects and the art direction provide
for something truly remarkable to watch. Though we should mention, for those of
you who demand more of every film, these aspects might not be enough.
The film is entertaining and with some great action
sequences. If you keep your expectations just a bit on the low side, we think
you may be able to have some fun.
6.5/10 Worth the Ticket Prize.
