Above average sci-fi movie
I have never been a hardcore sci-fi fan but this movie definitely has a nice light scifi feel to it.
This movie has a similar feel to District 9 but with a bigger budget and more star power. Money and actors are definitely not the way to an instant classic but it definitely helps in this case, especially when the star power is Matt Damon.
This is the kind if movie that gives me hope that I can enjoy the sci fi genre. It feels to me that scifi rarely gets the Hollywood treatment, and when it does it is full of cliches and melodrama. I am happy to say that this movie is an exception.
What I really appreciated with this movie was that many scenes could have easily gone a certain way but instead the movie makes a slight tweak to liven things up. Even the gun battle sequences seemed to have something fresh to them.
If I had to choose I would still watch district 9 first but this movie was still fantastic. I think that if you are looking at this...
Damonysium Baby
Not quite 5-stars but it's ambitious, fast, thrilling and at times fantastic.
The visuals deliver the goods, just amazing, with a tip of the hat to the gritty look and feel of District 9. Also, and this is key, the fight and action scenes are intense and immersive. You feel like you are in them as you watch.
The plot is the classic Hollywood story split, and suspension of disbelief is a must to get the full ride from this movie. Part of the story takes place on Elysium , a highly secure, space habitat for the rich and wealthy. The other part of the story takes place on a wild and hairy 2154 Earth A.D. These stories evolve on their own and then merge to get the sparks flying.
The acting is solid as you would expect. Everyone gives pretty tight performances that help make the movie that much more entertaining.
In all, good sci-fi entertainment, that does what good sci-fi does: use the future to make you think about the present. It's a solid...
This movie is worth the purchase
Im not going to hold anything back and I mean really Im not. This movie was so good and I mean so good that I had to see it twice the defintion of the movie was the bomb in the IMAX theater... man and it wasnt even necessary to see it with those goofy 3d glasses!!! But anyways the movie plot was pretty original a great diverse of actors from here the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, and South Africa so its pretty special knowing the consideration on what Bloomkamp had in mind on making this film and having a scifi flick that was part bilingual was great hell I dont even like scifi movies cause I always think that theres always going to be some nerds (no offense) that are always going to be slap fighting if one of them want to reenact scenes or something or even that the star wars or star trek were better films than "ahem" this one. But NO!!!!! This is my type of scifi flick that the slums of Los Angeles werent even made on some high tech computer but in on the outskirts area of the capitol of...
