My film of the year!
Naturally, everyone will compare this film with District N9. And correctly, besides the director, these films have a lot in common! In conversations with friends, I even inadvertently called it a continuation of the District.
The style is sustained, the film just moved from the modern Johannesburg to Los Angeles of the future. The technologies seem to be taken from the Area, but they have become much more juicy (the budget has grown threefold). Drama has become less, but I still let out a tear. Yes, the District had its own peculiarity with pseudo-documentaryism, but the second time it would not have hooked (and it would not look so harmonious in the world of the future). Perhaps Elysium has flaws (cliché in places, indestructibility of characters, similar fates of Max Da Costa’s heroes and Vikus van de Merve from area N9), but I didn’t pay attention to them on the background of modern sci-fi movies, because they are not even worthy consideration. Nowhere can you find so realistic science fiction.
I admit that I went to this film with the installation “I will like Elysium”, so was Blomkamp's previous work. And I was not at all disappointed. District N9 for me was a sort of “independent blockbuster” with its small budget and unknown actors. and if instead of Matt Damon and Jodie Foster, more “cheap actors” would have played the main roles, Elysium would have become the same.
In general, I received my portion of emotions and the frames of this film I will remember more than one day. Neil Blomkamp became such a director, from which you know what to expect and it's great!
Desyatochka!
