Elysium (2013)
While some might think that we're past the whole 99% movie drama, Neill Blomkamp's latest offering is a similar-type of fare of haves vs. have-nots that we saw in District 9 only with different players and a bit different storyline.
Matt Damon plays a reformed criminal who gets injured on the job. In this new dystopian future, you're giving some pills and sent home to die. Seems cruel, but in this world, the haves live off earth on a paradise -- that's unarmed -- and the rest live on Earth to basically figure out how to survive on scraps.
I love science fiction, so I'm always trying to figure out things other people don't care about like how stuff gets done on Earth and how the best on Earth must live if they're not able to make it to Elysium. But we don't explore any of that here.
Instead, we just see the gilded luxury class and the rest on Earth are basically ferreted through poverty.
Damon takes on a savior like stance early in the movie and realize he's probably going to be special. The CGI overload was done okay and if you're not a huge sci-fi nerd who appreciates campy, but relatively solid action then you'll find Elysium to your liking. Most directors would've massacred this into a gore-fest and while there's far too much gratuitous blood, I presume to appeal to a teenage demographic, I thought the overall story was done okay and redeemed itself well enough to merit seeing in the theater.
