Elysium** (15)
(Vue Romford)
In 22nd century Los Angeles a resourceful factory worker gets a lethal dose of radiation and ventures up to the elite above Earth space colony of Elysium which will guarantee him a cure.
Unfairly if inevitably compared to the director's previous success District 9, this sci-fi eco epic like most modern films muddles its key action scenes with rapid editing and camera movement, but in between are some thoughtful and sometimes moving moments, and the city of Elysium itself, though not very appealing as a refuge for anyone but the super-rich, is beautifully and imaginatively designed.
d: Neill Blomkamp
s: Matt Damon, Alice Braga, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Diego Luna, Wagner Moura, William Fichtner, Faran Tahir
