Jeux T @RT23605591 3d A good dystopian scifi movie ! Not perfect but still enjoyable See more Jordan S @jswez Aug 23 Dark and dystopian. It’s not exactly a “fun” watch, but it’s solid sci-fi action and the story is relatable for those who can read between the lines. See more peter B @RT91398037 Aug 7 What is the message here? Elysium has great health care, great environment, lovely houses and run my rich smart mostly white people. Not everyone can live there though, particularly people with Hispanic accents and skin. But there’s a happy ending: all the people of the world can in the end move to Amerylisium (sic) and become citizens. Shallow messaging, as is frequent these days, spoils the film. But as entertainment it still disappoints as it alternates between sweaty muscles and sentimentality with relentless noisy backing music and completely devoid of humour. See more gungi T @WhatWhere Aug 5 A film packed with potential, however, it never quite manages to deliver a compelling plot, instead getting somewhat lost in over-the-top action sequences that are staged in a rather frantic and hectic manner. The endless, rushed camera movements come across as exhausting and tiring. Added to this are clichéd character developments featuring caricatured, one-dimensional villains who are driven solely by violence and destruction. The conflict is established as soon as the movie begins. Elysium embodies the utopia of aristocracy, whilst Earth remains a capitalist underworld that drains people of hope. The robots – unlike the friendly models in Elysium – serve as an extension of the law, monitoring citizens and maintaining order. From the outset, the movie's overt social commentary lacks a profound staging and subtlety, which ultimately undermines the natural development of the hero’s sacrifice for the greater good.

I never felt very invested in any characters and there were some plot holes towards the end that made little sense.
