Elysium
Matt Damon in Elysium
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.
Product Description
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 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.

That being said, Elysium does suffer from some actual absurdities itself, often going way over-the-top with certain things. I failed to buy into the robot cops who control the have-not populace. I also failed to buy into the development of those "magical" devices of the haves that can seemingly diagnose and cure any kind of disease, such as leukemia, within a couple of minutes simply by lying down in it. The entire exo-skeleton human enhancement device that is implanted onto our hero, Matt Damon, which becomes one strong factor in allowing him to beat up bad guys seems all wrong and ridiculous. But now I'm getting nit-picking. The real questions are: is Elysium worth taking your time to watch and is Elysium a good movie? My response is an absolute unqualified yes! If you are a fan of dystopian sci-fi movies like I am, I think you will enjoy it. If you have a rigid political viewpoint that finds any notion of a separation of classes based on wealth offensive or the introduction of any political viewpoint into your movies, then I wouldn't bother watching it.
As for me, I enjoyed Elysium in spite of the fact that it is far from a great movie. It is a film I will be certain to watch many times in the future.
I must say Jodie Foster is sexy and alluring as a business mom with a bad French accent who wants to rule the world by engineering a coup. Meanwhile back on Earth our hero goes through a chop shop op to, oh I don’t know, become a borg. Ok, so there’s nothing conspicuous about that, he’s going to just fit right in. It’s also comforting to know in 2150-something thugs still wear do rags. You know it’s not going to end well for anyone but did you know the code for bad spy is an English accent? Well now you do. You can also feel comfort in the knowledge sophisticated defense robots have the same bad aim as human bad guys when they’re firing at the good guy. Don’t make Max mad or he’ll be a, wait for it, Mad Max. Sigh. So let’s recap. Useless diseased masses speak Spanish, evil spy hit men speak Cockney and elites, even those named Patel, wield bad French accents.
When all else fails call out the drones. And at one point they do just that. We’ve already stopped caring what data Max is carrying that now makes him a target but that usually happens when a script is written to support action sequences rather than plot. Have I mentioned how flawlessly perfect Jodie Foster is with designer hair, clothes and bad French accent? So Max now has Elysium’s operating system stored in his head so he could, theoretically, control Elysium. Of course any space engineers capable of building such a world would never ever have a back up on, say a thumb drive, because if they did that would kind of make the whole movie pointless. But Max thinks he can save the world by unlocking Elysium for everyone.
I suppose the fact Elysium is a giant wheel and in spite of having no roof manages to retain atmosphere is one continuity issue too many but apparently hospitals are also no longer necessary because every home has a healing machine, I suppose to handle the daily terminal diseases the inhabitants rarely need. It’s simply a wonder of Imagineering that they seem to be placed near the kitchen because, well, who knows why? Does it even matter? We know we’re going to see the whole thing coming down in figurative flames at the end after the first five minutes because no cliché is wasted on this bloody, violent excuse for a film. And with one computer entry – earth population-legal - Mad Max saves the world – and no one, absolutely no one, has the computer hackem sackem stuff to stop the upload that reoots Elysium and makes it free for everyone. How socialist. This was a horrible movie that probably felt good making because it feeds the poor, downtrodden couch potatoes the lie that a fair society is possible. And yes the “dialect coach” got an undeserved credit at the end as did Seasons Fine Foods catering. I’m so glad I waited til it was $4.99 to rent as I was tempted on several occasions to pay the $12.99 because I really do love sci-fi but this was just sigh-fi.
