We have a spoiler tag, you know.

Edit: You also ruined the ending on your last line.

Fair enough. That's a valid criticism but I'm a major fanboy for Blomkamp so I'm willing to overlook it because it's nothing too detrimental.

Well, he is only 18, so it's not like he's been an adult all THAT long.

The reason why Foster's performance didn't work in my eyes had less to do with character motivation and more to do with that stupid accent and her over-affected line deliveries.

I finally got around to watching this, I agree with ow Teague summed it up. Really good but missing something.

One thing i felt it needed was seeing what Life was life on Elysium to mirror Damons life.

We see Foster having a house party with a robot serving wine and some random establishing shot but we dont get more than broad strokes about what life if like there.

I also had problems with the character of 'Spider' he seems to be making good money sending ships up to be shot down in front of Elysium and yet when he see's the code Max has in his head he becomes a revolutionary?

It's a really good movie but just falls short of being as good as District 9.
