The big budget sci-fi action spectacle Elysium, written and directed by Neill Blomkamp and starring Matt Damon, serves as a master class in how to make stupid look smart.August 09, 2013
In a summer of antiseptic effects spectacles, Elysium stands out for its grime and intensity, as well as the bluntness of its class allegory.August 09, 2013
The action is bludgeoning.August 14, 2013
Like Max, the movie has to keep moving, and Mr. Blomkamp lets you fill in the gaps yourself as it progresses. Or not.August 09, 2013
A cautionary tale about the dangers of squandering resources that wastes its own talent.July 15, 2015
It has no particular voice. It's too clotted with plot and strategy.January 22, 2014
Neill Blomkamp has created a beautifully designed and realized world. If only he'd spent half as much time focusing on the people that inhabit it.April 10, 2016
A limp, unoriginal, and disheveled script read by a cast that doesn't seem to be able to make any sense of it, either.May 10, 2016
You can glide over the Metropolis-like parable and head right into the Mad Max mode. Damon as Max propels the film with muscles and intensity _ that first and the social commentary later is maybe a fair enough deal for our multiplex experience.August 09, 2013
Though Elysium is a testament to Blomkamp's extraordinary skill as a visual filmmaker, it does not speak nearly so well for his gifts as a writer.July 14, 2016
It seems to me that Elysium has its heroes and villains confused.
