Elysium

Lists: Sci-Fi

Brief Synopsis: "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 (Jodie Foster), 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 (Matt Damon) 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."

Drezzy80 - Damn, damn good movie that has a somewhat anti-climactic and entirely predictable third act. It's a testament to the entire cast that Matt Damon gives one of the weaker performances, and even then he's still really damn good in it. Sharlto Copley, though, stole the show. He was great in District 9 as the bumbling in-over-his-head common man that was forced to be something more, but he's even better here, as Kruger is, hands-down, one of the best film villains I've seen in a very, very long time.

Bryan Lienesch78 - Sci-fi setting. Class warfare. A protagonist who feels he belongs to both worlds. Does Neil Blomkamp think no one saw 'District 9'?

Sweet Popcorn And Late Nights61 - This is a great premise and some wonderful world-building, but ultimately not much more than a solid action sci-fi.
