Elysium

By September 3, 2013Movies

I liked this movie, sort of. The special effects were tremendous. But the story was weak.

It is basically the Jesus story but told WAY in the future and Jesus is a bit of a jerk. But ultimately he does sacrifice himself for the good of all. His sins are the sins of man and he rises above them to save us all.

The bad guys are rich people who have no crime but apparently all LOCK their doors. Since the only way into a house is to break the glass on the doors. And in the future no one can get past a door that is locked. So it is good to know that some things will never change no matter how much technology we have. Doors will stop you.

It was entertaining enough but a 1/2 hour could have been cut out and I would have been happier with that. Matt Damon does a good job but there were too many bad guys. And I HATED that the good guy from District 9 was now a HORRIBLE person in this one. I know he is an actor and all that but I didn’t like it.
