Well the wait
is over and this was not what I expected. Elysium turned out to be another “Tentpole”
flop.
Set in the
year 2154, where the very wealthy live on a man-made space station while the
rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth, a man takes on a mission that
could bring equality to the polarized worlds.
Jody Foster’s
who has 2 Academy Awards, has been away from the screen for a while and it
shows. Her acting muscles are rusty. She plays the head of Defense on
Elysium. Her acting is forced and her
accent comes and goes throughout the picture. In a way this is similar to the
SyFy flick Oblivion which also had a high level female defense person in actress
Melissa
Leo.
Matt Damon
does his best with what is given to him but he comes off as a 2nd
rate RoboCop.
Verdict:
Predictable and
disappointing. Oblivion was not great but it was the better Sy Fy flick of the two
