Neill Blomkamp's Elysium

[Sachiel]

James Cameron probably forgot about it. He's stuck on Pandora.

Isn't he busy making 3 sequels to Avatar too?

Yeah that's what I meant.

I will never join you, buffoon!

Also the parts with his childhood friend/romance was so useless. As if they had to put it because some producers wanted some romance for the lady audience. I prefered the bromance between Max & Julio :/
​

Completely agree with this, Julio was way more interesting than Alice Braga, and he was killed way too early.

Saw it again.
What a beautifully designed movie, what a bad script and aweful direction.
The two worst thing? The useless love story as if saving the world was not enough. Kruger going ape**** in the end, why? Because hes crazyyyyyyy yu know. Lamest excuse to make **** happen in the end...
The cool thing, the pace.
Movie moves fast and thats great.
No more interested in hs work now.
Ill Check when he decides to let a real screenwriter and stop the bad handheld cam ****.

Kruger was just an awful, one-dimensional character and way over the top.

I didn't mind the love story but the way Max decided to #### over everyone so save his own life didn't ring true with the way Max was portrayed up until that point. The way he treated Frey's daughter wasn't believable either. It seemed an obvious ploy to set up the redemption at the end.

D9 with a bigger budget it is.

Max = Wikus
Kruger = Koobus

etc

 

[Sachiel]

Mexicans = CGI Aliens

 

[RIDDICK]

No-no-no, it's

Mexicans = Africans

There's no aliens in D9

 

[Sachiel]

OK then

Mexicans = CGI Africans from off planet

its beautiful. even if you hate the story, i think the effects make up for it

Just watched this on DVD yesterday and I agree with you. Only thing that I wasn't crazy about was the ending. Messianic sacrifice is overdone in movies.
