In the year 2159 two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes (Jodie Foster), a hard line government official will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn't stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max (Matt Damon) is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that if successful will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.
Ultra-violent, ultra-stylish, petrol-headed entertainment with enough arthouse flair to keep it interesting. Go watch it. But don't expect Fast & Furious 6. And don't take the kids.
We all know Brad Bird is a master of animated movies (The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, Ratatouille). I'm really looking forward to M:I 4, just to see how he does a live action flick. After watching the trailer, you'd think he does it all the time =]
Looks like a lot of the same scenarios from the first movie are used again... But once this one is at least close to the level of the original, I'm good.
