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, 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 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.

"This is an impressive #science_fiction #thriller film. With plenty of #action and #drama, my only distaste came in the slow beginning. While I know establishing a world in science fiction can require some time in a film, it still felt lengthy without much benefit for the minutes spent. #sacrifice #greater_good #r_rated #slight_romance "
"If you really think about the story, it’s basically a man keeping his promise to a childhood friend/crush that took years to get to that point.
What a true friend right there. But sad how he had to sacrifice his life for it.
I hate the fact how it’s still probably going to be this way in society where we are also segregated by socioeconomic status to receive the benefits we deserve/need but but are denied access because of the rich.
It’s unnerving.
Cast did great, nice effects, and if you like a Sci-fi film, an underlying theme of friendship, and/or Matt Damon, this might be your cup of tea."
