The dictionary defines "Elysium"as,
1. Greek Mythology The Elysian Fields.
2. A place or condition of ideal happiness.
This movie however is a fantasy in the traditions of"Lost Horizon (1937)"and in a sense then, the culmination into "Atlas Shrugged - Part 1 and 11 - The Strike - (2011 + 2012)"all films reviewed on this blog.Sadly thats why I can only give it my weakest recommendation at 2 1/2 stars,50-50.Released in 2013 it runs 109 minutes.The FX is fine,acting,well average and the story weak at best,Based on the old chestnut as I explained above.There were a few clichés such as the role played by Jodie Foster as Delacourt is virtually the same as Jack Nicholson played as Col. Nathan R. Jessup in "A few good men",a film also reviewed on this blog.So see it out of curiosity BUT its nothing really new or shocking if you seen films like the ones described above.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.
Set in the year 2154, where the very wealthy live on a man-made space station while the rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth, a man takes on a mission that could bring equality to the polarized worlds.
