Lots of great special effects and twists.
An other great performance by Matt Damon.
This was an entertaining movie with a unique story. Matt Damon shines in the starring role and Jodi Foster plays the evil one for one.
Damon's acting along with the cinematography saves the movie. The story is as compelling as a mushy wet piece of stale bread. Completely uninteresting story line bores you to tears
Matt Damon and Jodie Foster were both amazing (always have loved Jodie Foster). The show was different in a way of story line which was interesting. The fight scenes had too much movement to the point of being nauseating. So if you have issues with vertigo or too much movement this movie may not be for you but the movie was good other than that.
I was never a huge Matt Damon fan but after seeing this I am now!!! Awesome movie!!
Good acting, good action. Fun! I enjoyed Jodie Foster's accent.
I almost walked out; there were so many plot holes it's ridiculous. Started laughing a lot toward the end. Pretty disappointed.
Overall a nice surprise, some holes, but they did not take away from this enjoyable flick.
Not as emotionally compelling as District 9, Elysium is more summer blockbuster than I was hoping for from Blomkamp but is a well exexcuted film. Damon gives a solid performance, Foster is believable if annoying as the icy rich snob and most of all Sharlto Copeley steals the spotlight as a crazed bounty hunter. The music manipulates the mood, which I didn't like but the action scenes are really enjoyable with some nice big shootouts and fights
