Elysium Film Review

My favourite film to watch this summer was 'Elysium' – the film starred Matt Damon and Jodie Foster. The film was rated 68% on Rotten tomatoes and was given 7/10 on IMDb. The film is set in the future, 2156 and shows the Earth with all the problems that we're beginning to face now, overcrowding, overpopulation, poverty etc.

The reason why this film was my favourite over the summer was because the action kept me to the edge of the seat, and the plot twists and turns kept the storyline from being boring and kept the pace, even through the slow parts! The special effects used in the film grossed me out, however emphasised the chilling nature of the 'Rich peoples' savagery. Another reason why I enjoyed the film so much was how good the actors played their part, with Jodie Foster playing Secretary Delacourt, the evil, power hungry Defence secretary, defending her horrifying actions with lies, claiming that they're to protect 'her people'. She successfully gets her chilling attitude across as she kills many innocent 'non citizens' of Elysium whilst in luxury. 


Matt Damon plays Max da Costa, and After a gruesome industrial accident, Matt’s only chance is to get up to Elysium pronto. Overall I really enjoyed the film, and will be buying it on DVD.
