Elysum Review

 did it again folks, with the help of newbie director  (known best for his District 9 film). Matt and Neill created not only a new world but a new universe in the must see Elysum (For me at least). Elysum takes place in the far off future where planet earth has become a polluted waste land filled with the poor and criminals with rap sheets as long as my arm. While these people are forced to lived their existence on planet earth the wealthy party gets to go to Elysum a ship filled with advance technology, keeping the citizens young and immortal. Max played by Matt Damon is a worker who is exposed to radiation and given only 5 days to live before his organs shut down, he has to find away to get into a medic pod (a device that cures all diseases) which is only located on Elysum. Along the way Max agrees to get bionic arms installed into his nerves system making him almost unstoppable. Yes kids I did say almost unstoppable as in a character with equal or higher strength can stop him did he/she stop him you'll have to find out by checking out the movie your self but I will add that because of that rival character in the end their was an amazing sword fight, sadly only one character had a sword but the opponent defended with his bionic arms which still made the fight incredible. In fact all the action scenes within this film were amazing. The weapons were designed perfectly making them completely believable for the time period in polluted Earth and Elysium. The slow motion results of the damage caused by these incredible weapons were visually stunning. I must tip my hat to Writer Director Neill Blomkamp for bringing me much more then I would have ever asked for in  this amazing film. I would defiantly suggest this to all Action/Sci-fi  lovers and to all others just give the movie a try its worth the risk. If you have seen the film tell me what your thoughts about it in the comment section below.
