Review of Elysium (2013) by David Edelstein for New York Magazine (Vulture) — 07 Aug 2013
The action is bludgeoning. When Max gets pummeled by fists and lethal objects, we get pummeled by light and noise and rock-'em-sock-'em editing. No shrimp, though. As a narrative, "District 9" wasn't particularly original, either — in the end it was a standard conversion melodrama.
But everything is better with shrimp.
