Review of Elysium (2013)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 07 Aug 2013

With most films, that'd be enough to cut out half the potential American audience…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Richard Corliss (1,032) for TIME Magazine (1,130) on 07 Aug 2013

The result is a grim and predictable adventure saga that is not nimble but leaden. Dystopia has rarely been so dysto-pointing…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 07 Aug 2013

Like District 9, an allegory of apartheid that took four Oscar nods and put Blomkamp on the map, Elysium delivers sci-fi without dumbing it…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Jon Niccum (520) for Kansas City Star (1,573) on 07 Aug 2013

Despite some terrific action scenes, Elysium is held back by its predictable plot, questionable casting and overly glossy presentation…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Steve Tilley (62) for Jam! Movies (2,396) on 07 Aug 2013

Despite a fertile premise about the 1% of the 1% living on a pristine space station orbiting above earth's teeming and impoverished masses,…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Tom Huddleston (600) for Time Out London (344) on 07 Aug 2013

This is a messy, poorly structured film, riddled with plot holes and lacking any kind of satisfying conclusion…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Michael Sauter (58) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 07 Aug 2013

Because yes, along with a very topical, deeply resonant theme and premise, Elysium has a hurtling momentum, with enough boom-crash-splatter…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 07 Aug 2013

Kudos to Blomkamp for not shying away from social issues in his films, but here the execution doesn’t live to the intentions…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 07 Aug 2013

It’s a letdown, but this director’s still a talent to be reckoned with…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Keith Phipps (1,177) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 07 Aug 2013

For all its simple politics, clanging dialogue, and underwritten roles—only Damon’s natural, and deepening, ability to suggest unspoken…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Rob Nelson (320) for Minneapolis Star Tribune (2,416) on 07 Aug 2013

What's great about Elysium is that it invites and even encourages discussion and debate while delivering proficiently at the levels of plot,…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Ann Hornaday (1,919) for Washington Post (9,851) on 07 Aug 2013

A high-low tension runs through Elysium, not only in the narrative itself, but in Blomkamp’s own cinematic language, which can be lofty one…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Marshall Fine (1,011) for Hollywood & Fine (854) on 07 Aug 2013

Neill Blomkamp is the real thing: a visionary filmmaker with a headful of dystopia and the story-telling ability to give it some punch…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By David Edelstein (2,124) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 07 Aug 2013

The action is bludgeoning…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Adam Nayman (350) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 07 Aug 2013

One of Blomkamp’s most unlikely conceits is a machine – apparently standard-issue in all of Elysium’s made-to-order McMansions – that…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Daniel M. Kimmel (1,403) for New England Movies Weekly (716) on 06 Aug 2013

the sort of science fiction thriller some of us have been craving all summer only to see one film after another fall short…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Josh Larsen (2,042) for LarsenOnFilm (1,412) on 06 Aug 2013

captivated me with its depiction of a not-so-far-off future and the technology that governs it…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 06 Aug 2013

A great-looking entertainment that could have reached new classic status with a longer cut that allowed the characters to breathe, expand and deepen…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Jason Gorber (520) for ScreenAnarchy (469) on 06 Aug 2013

In the end these grand ideas are no more than a gaudy collection of intellectual set dressing, more distracting than genuinely intriguing…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Victoria Alexander (762) for Las Vegas Informer (90) on 06 Aug 2013

An extremely engaging sci-fi thriller with a director's strong point of view on the caste system. Should be seen twice…
