A serious and intense science-fiction film, Elysium comes with great intentions, stunning special effects and fine performances. It is one of the last of the summer blockbusters and manages to deliver a captivating and excitingly bleak tale of ordinary folk rising against oppression. As he did with his spectacular 2009 debut District 9, director Neill Blomkamp isn't content to just deal with shiny spaceships, lasers and explosions, he wants his film to have a serious message amid the mayhem. This time round, though, he is also blessed with the casting of a moody and muscular Matt Damon, who brings with him an ease in the action-man moments as well as an innate compassion and honest everyman determination to do the right thing. Okay, so his character was once a criminal, but on a now devastated planet where everyone struggles to survive he is the nearest thing to a knight on a white charger. The film's tough highpoint comes when Damon's increasingly ill Max agrees to be bolted into a powerful mechanical exo-skeleton that increases his physical power and also enables him to download vital information straight into his brain.
