I'm a huge si fi fan, loved district nine, and a fan of Mat Damon, but I saw this yesterday and thought it was a total turkey!

Seriously, the writing, pacing, dialog, etc was so bad, so forced..I almost laughed out loud a few times. It's really too bad, because from a concept level it sounds kick ass. The only thing that got me through it (vs walking out) was some nice eye candy.

To each his own I guess.

I'm mixed on the movie. I thought the story felt kind of rushed and underdeveloped. I would like some kind of prequel of how they built elysium and how it came to be. the the world was overpopulated angle was a good concept,but it just felt rushed. I love jodie foster,but her acting performace was pretty bad in my opinion. I did love the look and feel of the movie. I thought the special effects were pretty decent,but nothing mind blowing. Overall I did'nt think it was bad,but nothing special.
