Hello, cinema fans. This time I will tell you about a not very well known science fiction and action movie that mixes these genres with dystopian worlds and a much more crude cyberpunk style than usual. A work that serves to give us a satirical and somewhat exaggerated example of what we can see now in today's society with respect to governments, social classes and overpopulation. Written, produced and directed by t…More

source Today I was watching the dystopian sci-fi movie Elysium (2013) on Netflix. I can't believe I'm just watching it for the first time when it is as old as 11 years, and when I love Matt Damon. If the first few scenes of this movie I uncovered this great joke. While Max (Matt Damon) was talking to his parole officer who is a robot, it detected a rise in his heart beat and suggested he take a pill. Immediately it…More

Image Hello friends, I hope you are very well, this time I want to talk about a film by director Neil Blomkamp, the same from Sector 9. This is his second film and it came out in 2013. This director has gone for science fiction and his theme in these films has been social criticism. Elysium can be cataloged in the dystopian science fiction genre. In this kind of genre, the world is located in a terrifying future d…More
This review may contain spoilers. I remember having like it when I first saw it in the theater. This second viewing was a bit disappointing. It does have a strong social commentary and I'm guessing that's what made me like it back then, despite the issues I usually don't focus on the negative part of films, but this one since the opinion changed a bit, I'll list a few of the things I didn't love: The dialogs are a b…More
The name Elysium evokes the idea of a Utopian place, which is the premise of this weakly scripted film from writer/director Neill Blomkamp, who also brought us another mediocre science fiction film, District 9 . I enjoy good science fiction and was hoping that this film would redeem my incredible disappointment in 2013's other sci-fi bust, Oblivion . Both looked incredibly good to me judging by the trailers. Both le…More
Elysium. It's not as good as District 9, but not as bad as the original reviews would have you believe either. Regardless of quality, it still has some sins. So obviously, we wanted to share our findingsMore
