It's been four years since Neill Blomkamp impacted the Sci-Fi genre with his groundbreaking drama "District 9". The story followed the life of Wikus Van De Merwe (Sharlto Copley), a government official who inadvertently becomes exposed to alien technology. The film was a critical and box office success, despite it's relatively unknown cast and it's small budget; soon, it was named as one of the top 10 independent films of 2009. A sequel had been hinted by Blomkamp in many interviews, but said that he had many ideas and other projects he would like
to complete first.
Well, I'd like a sequel soon and I'm sure many people would probably agree with me. However, for now we shall have to contend with his latest sci-fi action-er "Elysium".
"Elysium" sees Max (Matt Damon) become poisoned by radiation and in a desperate attempt to save his life, tool up and visit an in space habitat; known as Elysium.
It seems to have all the ingredients for a good blockbuster; action, wit, a compelling story and some great CGI. So far it has been met with mixed reviews in America, but I am positive that "Elysium" is going to be the action film of the summer, which we all deserve.
But what do you think?
"Elysium" will be reviewed at a later date.
