  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

  I really enjoyed this movie. It reminded me of Gattaca which is one of my favourites. I wasn't sure if Matt Damon could pull off a cyborg, but he did. Some plot holes, but I loved the action. I wasn't sure what would happen next.

  Some nice f/x... this is on par with Johnny Mnemonic (1995) in terms of directing, story-telling; they rely heavily on trying to wow the audience with CGI, but it gets boring after a while because the story's so lame. Most of the time, it's simply a fighting scene with people being blown up by grenades. They go more for gore factor toward the end. Jodie Foster is a complete waste of talent in this one. Really, I think it's just another one of those lame sic-fi short show pieces for Vancouver post production talent (think I-Robot), which means you'll get very little substance in the actual production.

  Good story and great effects. A few of the action scenes were a bit hard to follow, and also some of the foul language seemed "out of place" for this kind of movie. I don't know why, and I personally am not offended by such language, but it just didn't seem to fit with the whole look and mood of the movie. Oh well, it was still a very cool movie to watch! I look forward to seeing this director's movies in the future as I also really liked District 9 a lot.

  I loved this movie. It was the bomb. Matt don is so cool as he slowly gets his memory back and realizes he's a super bada$$ secret agent. I think the cameo by Ben Affleck was the biggest surprise at the end (spoilers!!!?!LOL) I would tohtslly go see his moie again but my mom doesn't even slinks I saw it the first te she thinks we saw Planes.
