Movie review: “Elysium” is implausible

Free Republic

quote:

Elysium has too many loud, noisy action scenes, and not enough calm, quiet, reflective scenes of thoughtful contemplation. It didn’t have any lines of dialogue that I can see myself wanting to quote in the future. None of the characters were particularly interesting.

comment:

Precisely.  It is a shoot-em-up action junkie type movie.  Trying to get anything of social commentary from it is like trying to get social commentary out of Conan, The Barbarian.
