Review of Elysium (2013) by Salman K — 23 Mar 2014
As I always mention ... i'm not a sci-fi movie fan but at times the cast does the trick...so Matt Damon ..Jodie Foster ... did the trick..however, Sharlto Copley is the surprise package ...as the mean, crazy psycho Agt Kruger ...
I loved this movie, well, for the fact that it delivers a powerful message and though it does lack in character build up ... it is a fast pace thriller ... an amazing message towards the beginning and the end of the movie.... Besideds, I saw the movie twice .... so I really ... really liked the movie!!!
Much like a futuristic Blood Diamond...besides it even has a line and a scene exactly similar to Blood Diamond ...
A brilliant background score by Ryan Amon.
VeRDiCT - Neil Blomkamp was asked in an interview whether this is a futuristic movie....and he replied ...
No, NO, NO ... this is the present ..... now !!!
Well I do get his point ....after watching the movie.... absolutely spot on Neil!!!
