Elysium (out Aug 15) is a sci-fi action film, set in year 2154, with strong political/social undertones. It's too action-heavy in its second half and the ending a little simplistic... but it's to be commended for its thought provoking premise and its interesting, metaphoric look into the future. Grade: B.
