Elysium

2013 · 109 min Science Fiction Action Drama Thriller
6.5 / 10 · TMDB

In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes, a hard line government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn’t stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that, if successful, will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The action here isn't perfunctory — it's considered, with internal logic. The staging of fights and chases shows a director who knows the genre from the inside.

A well-made ride. Doesn't claim depth, but does its job honestly and without boredom.

For those who appreciate a solidly made genre film without pretensions.

Director: Neill Blomkamp
