Didn't think it was a very good film. I was hoping / expecting it to be set on Elysium much more than it was.

Obviously the 1% / 99% overtones are not very subtle but we need documentaries on such things, not science fiction produced by people who are in the 1%.

I thought the movie was pretty decent with an amazing story and visual effects.

I thought it was pretty decent myself. Great visual effects as well.

Very underrated, but great visuals and Sharlto Copley steals the show.

Elysium was considered a propaganda film to support socialized medicine.

Like the best of distopian science fiction, it's a warning of a future that might one day be. If that makes this movie a leftist wet dream, then give me a change of boxers in the morning! :lol:
