Review of Elysium (2013) by Sireddiecook — 08 Aug 2013
Neil Blomkamp's sophomore outing slumps along and is easily dwarfed by the far superior District 9. This movie looks and feels like a cutscene from a videogame(but maybe that's an insult to good AAA titles).
Claustrophobic action, a bouncy camera, and heavy handed free healthcare for all message left my audience dead quiet and disengaged. The CGI doesn't always look top drawer. The EXO Skeleton concept is completely a waste.
Only somewhat amusing is Sharlto Copley's turn as a South African mercenary named Krueger.
