Elysium




Elysium in Webster's Dictionary means: "noun, the abode of the blessed after death in classical mythology."  The Movie is about the earth in 2154 after the Republicans build a space station  so they don't have to live with the "others". At least that's what it looked like to me.  In the artificial worth everybody lived in luxury and free from anything bad. They even had a sort of CT scan in their homes that would scan and instantly cure anything from cancer to broken bones.  On earth it was like any third world country of squalor and horrible conditions with all the police handled by droids.

Matt Damon does a good job in this sci-fy flick. He plays a guy with 5 days to live and the need to change things on earth and in space.

It is not very deep: Good versus evil. Good popcorn movie even better rental.

I give it **stars.  2013 movie #34
