From the dude who directed District 9 ...



Quote :
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.

In theaters August 9.

Sounds like social commentary masquerading as SF. No harm in that, though.

District 9 was pretty good, though I haven't seen it since it came out.

I thought DISTRICT 9 was banal tripe. Heavy handed and obvious social commentary lacking wit, custom made for the video game generation.

Come back Frank J. Schaffner.

Yeah. I think I'm more interested for the visuals. I liked District 9 but it sure wasn't subtle.

Yup. I didn't like it either.

Sounds extremely similar to the Star Trek episode "The Cloud Minders", so hopefully it's a better executed take.

Hooray, poverty on both Earth and Elysium! :D
