Review of Elysium (2013)

By Sean P. Means (2,056) for Salt Lake Tribune (1,927) on 08 Aug 2013

Blomkamp deftly balances the action requirements with the issues and fills in the background with enough detail to make this multicultural…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 08 Aug 2013

In a summer of antiseptic effects spectacles, Elysium stands out for its grime and intensity, as well as the bluntness of its class allegory…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) (2,277) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 08 Aug 2013

It's an exciting and fast-paced film, where the clock is always ticking toward some imminent disaster…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Katherine Monk (493) for Canada.com (402) on 08 Aug 2013

Blomkamp's crazy style and depth of dystopian vision makes Elysium worth watching…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Will Leitch (411) for Deadspin (356) on 08 Aug 2013

Blomkamp turns subtext into text into screaming red letters into massive hands that appear from the screen and slap you repeatedly in face…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Michael Burgin (54) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 08 Aug 2013

Blomkamp knows how to blow apart a body. Thankfully, he also knows how to engage in compelling speculative-world-building…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Jason Buchanan (161) for TV Guide (1,527) on 08 Aug 2013

This time, backed by a bigger budget and a more experienced cast, Blomkamp proves that his vision is indeed capable of sustaining a larger-scale…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 08 Aug 2013

Blomkamp overdoes even his best effects…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Phil Villarreal (1,289) for OK! Magazine (124) on 08 Aug 2013

It all looks so darned real, you'd swear it was filmed on location of a 15-year-old's hyperactive, sci-fi-addled brain…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 08 Aug 2013

The world-building is fantastic and detailed...When there is violence, it is gory and brief, used to shocking (and sometimes campy, whether…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for PopMatters (2,617) on 08 Aug 2013

tough-minded science fiction rooted in sociopolitical realities that set it apart from almost every other CGI-ed blockbuster…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Tony Medley (1,109) for Tolucan Times (639) on 08 Aug 2013

a dark, fast-paced, violent film with quite a few F-bombs marred by a Terrence Malick-like pace killing scene near the end…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Kelly Vance (1,015) for East Bay Express (1,012) on 08 Aug 2013

There's always room for one more apocalypse when there's popcorn to sell…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 08 Aug 2013

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Christian Toto (897) for Big Hollywood (212) on 08 Aug 2013

Dopey Pollyanna politics meet hackneyed storytelling. Elysium has it all…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Gary Wolcott (857) for Tri-City Herald (818) on 08 Aug 2013

Decent Sci-fi. Neill Blomkamp gives the near future a negative, narrow, violent -- but probably more accurate than Star Trek -- view…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Kurt Loder (858) for Reason Online (497) on 08 Aug 2013

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Mathew Dekinder (396) for Suburban Journals of St. Louis (395) on 08 Aug 2013

What I find most exciting is that this is only Blomkamp's second feature and he's already staked out the promising territory of movies that…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Jonathan W. Hickman (551) for Daily Film Fix (355) on 08 Aug 2013

the prevalence of the F-bomb does not add one thing to the story and only cheaply gives us any sort of gritty realism that quickly evaporates…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Rebecca Cusey (105) for Patheos (85) on 08 Aug 2013

Calm down. This movie fits fine with conservatism. It's pretty much a warning about what will happen to Earth if socialism wins…
