Review of Elysium (2013)

By Tim Evans (725) for Sky Cinema (1,726) on 20 Aug 2013

In a disappointing season of bloated blockbusters, Elysium stands tall, a first-rate sci-fi thriller given extra heft by a heartening moral core…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 20 Aug 2013

There are eye-catching special effects and some tantalising early scenes. But Blomkamp seems to have got lost in his big pile of Hollywood dollars…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Jim Schembri (1,298) for 3AW (1,025) on 19 Aug 2013

Packed with action and jarring visual toggles between the lives of the haves and the squalor of the have-nots, writer/director Neil Bloomkamp…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 19 Aug 2013

Although many will enjoy the grisly violence and Damon's understated performance, what's most striking here is this one's fearless satire,…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Rob Carnevale (227) for The List (2,018) on 19 Aug 2013

For the most part, Elysium is a thrilling blockbuster that marries intelligence with spectacle to striking effect and confirms Blomkamp as…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By David Keyes (623) for Cinemaphile.org (616) on 18 Aug 2013

In a handful of aspiring filmmakers that have hard things to say about the state of our world and the histories we may be doomed to repeat,…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Siobhan Synnot (412) for Scotsman (1,471) on 18 Aug 2013

Elysium is not a bad movie, but it doesn't seem to sense when we've had enough…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Neil Alcock (15) for Film4 (1,522) on 18 Aug 2013

Visually stunning and with flashes of inspired genius, Elysium shows promise but is let down by an uneven structure, weak characterisation…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By James Kendrick (1,607) for Q Network Film Desk (1,607) on 16 Aug 2013

The film's allegorical terms are decidedly unstable and arguably compromised by the presence of Damon, a traditional white leading man, as…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Louis Proyect (533) for rec.arts.movies.reviews (2,454) on 16 Aug 2013

The latest in a string of anti-corporate dystopian films that has the evil CEO's overthrown by a superhero rather than the workers…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Jackie K. Cooper (1,018) for jackiekcooper.com (943) on 15 Aug 2013

Best to ignore all the political overtones and just enjoy as a straight sci-fi action flick…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Joshua Starnes (554) for ComingSoon.net (2,031) on 15 Aug 2013

If you can't ignore the ham-handedness of the message, which moves quickly from not far off-base to way, way over the top, it might be just…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Richard Edwards (24) for SFX Magazine (298) on 15 Aug 2013

The fact that Elysium comes close to greatness - classichood always feeling tantalisingly within reach - only makes its failings more frustrating…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Linda Cook (1,442) for Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) (1,206) on 14 Aug 2013

A worthwhile look at a dystopian not-so-distant future, 'Elysium' is an action-packed science-fiction drama that's more serious than much of…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Matt Neal (458) for The Standard (252) on 14 Aug 2013

Blomkamp aims higher and thinks bigger with Elysium, keeping the smarts and heart of District 9, while ramping up the action…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Widgett Walls (433) for Needcoffee.com (433) on 14 Aug 2013

It almost feels like it's some sort of fable...but if that's the case...then it's so heavy-handed, you would need an exoskeleton to lift your hands…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Blake Howard (505) for 2UE That Movie Show (314) on 14 Aug 2013

ELYSIUM doesn't have the striking originality and defiance of DISTRICT 9 but its prescient social commentary fused with spectacular sci-fi…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Cameron Williams (256) for The Popcorn Junkie (236) on 14 Aug 2013

The brutality of a desolate futuristic setting matches hard-hitting action sequences perfectly, but middling characters disrupt the film's impact…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By John Urbancich (394) for Your Movies (cleveland.com) (472) on 14 Aug 2013
