In the year 2154, 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 Delacourt (Jodie Foster) will stop at nothing to preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium – but that doesn’t stop the people of Earth from trying to get in by any means they can. Max (Matt Damon) agrees to take on a life threatening mission, one that could bring equality to these polarized worlds.

Critics Consensus: After the heady sci-fi thrills of District 9, Elysium is a bit of a comedown for director Neill Blomkamp, but on its own terms, it delivers just often enough to satisfy.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

The result disappoints not only because it fails to meet our admittedly unrealistic hopes that it might live up to Blompkamp’s first, but because, ironically enough, the outcome isn’t as polished as his sophomore effort.

As conventional as it may be, the action and pure visual spectacle keep it from being a total loss.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Don Shanahan

Dynamically designed and well paced, the film offers very good, albeit predictable, entertainment.

Alex Maidy

From my perspective, not only is Elysium a worthy companion work to District 9, but it operates as a consistently more balanced and accomplished production on its own.

World Socialist Web Site

David Walsh

Blomkamp has weakened his film and made it less appealing to audiences through his insistence on dull, pumped-up action sequences.
