"Elysium" starring Matt Damon & Jodi Foster. This sci-fi movie is set in the year 2154, Earth has become overcome by disease, pollution and overpopulation. In order to escape the turmoil on Earth the world's wealthiest decide to build a lavish space station called Elysium where they can live in luxury. Damon plays Max, a reformed criminal just trying to get by on Earth as he dreams of living on Elysium. When Max is accidentally exposed to a lethal dose of radiation he plots out a way to get himself to Elysium so that he can cure himself in one of their sickness curing medical scanning pods. Damon does a nice job as Max, the supporting cast is also strong. Writer-Director Neill Blomkamp is building up a solid resume, keep an eye out for him. It's quite the ride, I really enjoyed this one and I highly recommend it.
I will give it 4 out of 5 stars (*****).
