Oh, I enjoyed Elysium. It's just that the film had two sides for me: a social agenda and an action story, and those two didn't necessarily work well together for me. The story didn't challenge me intellectually. It's been done before (and better) in other science fiction novels, and none of the emotional scenes really worked on me. Still, I found the movie as a whole rather enjoyable. Better than most I've seen this year. A surprise: Kruger is an amazing villain! The race-and-chase scenes were awesome, and the display of military technology had me drooling (just don't get me started on the physics involved, or lack of adherence to them. You've got to cut the line somewhere). Overall, not disappointed in the least.
