Elysium

Release Date:  9 August 2013                                                              Runtime:  109 Minutes              

Review Date:  1 December 2013                                                          Rating:  3 (of 6)

     I thought the story of a destitute Earth with hero Matt Damon among the tired, poor and huddled masses trying to escape to Elysium, the orbiting paradise haven of the rich and healthy, would be something to see.

     It turned out to be something to skip, Elysium failing to get me involved or to care about anyone's plight.  Jodie Foster delivered a good performance, though.
