It looks like the people on earth are terrorists

So some people all moved away into space, and the remaining ppl on earth turned it into a shit hole, and now want to destroy the colony as there sick of the shit they created on earth

 

Granted no individual living created the environment they live in but instead inherited it, Instead of trying to change it, they embrace it, and want to attack the peace loving ppl in space who want to be left alone

at least thats what i got from the trailer

 

could be the colonists fire torpedoes at earth in a sick game of rich people darts, but from the trailer the elisians just want to live in paradise and the earthers want to shit on it

So its North Korea Vs The US minus any plausible racism toward Asians?....

 

That still sounds interest for me to see at least.

I thought District 9 was good. I never saw it in the theaters and I vaguely remembered trailers for it when I saw it in a $5 dvd bin years ago. I picked it up and thought it was good though. The special effects with aliens / alien tech was well done.

My thoughts

 

Overall this movie felt like it was around 80% Action with the only downfall being how cliché the overall plot was for Max.

 

Bad

What was the point in any of the characters speaking in Spanish if it was only going to be in flash backs? Maybe they were in Mexico before they were in Los Angeles. But it still seemed weird once you hear Max with an American Accent.

How it got nearer to the end it was more & more obvious Max was going to die.

How every chance a human villain from has to redeem him or herself they don't.

Okay not really. The one guy I assumed was a villain because he wanted Max to pull off one major heist for the sake of cash instantly turns good guy when he realizes Max now has the to save everyone on Earth. If anything that would then prevent him from making cash off of the people desperate to sneak into Elysium.

Maybe I'm breathing too much into it but plausible religious innuendo when Max sacrifices himself to save everyone on Earth. But then again this didn't ruin the movie for me either so I guess it wasn't that bad.

 

Good

Lots Of Action

The robots at the end of the movie I feel shocked I wanted to cheer for.

None of the life saving machines were owned by a woman intended for a man that was needed for an abortion.... But then again there were no Aliens in it.

 

Goofy

I couldn't help but to chuckle at the idea that in the last fight there were cherry blossoms blowing in the wind really high up on this industrial tower bridge in an industrial area.

 

You'll hate this movie if

You hate clichés too much to actually enjoy it.

Think its message is to communist / liberal / whatever Fox News & Friends would declare it to be.

Get angry at the plausible religious undertone. (IMHO it wasn't that major.)

 

Also I doubt there will be a sequel to this as everything was wrapped up. I'm still waiting for a District 9 sequel but I guess the director learned not to have cliff hangers (this time around).

After watching that Movie Bob review, I'm more interested in watching this now. It sounds like a movie I'd really like. I'm very surprised that the guy from District 9 is playing that action role opposite Matt Damon.. He doesn't look anything like himself.. and in the commercials I thought it was just some random grizzly guy.

      I've been getting ready for spring for the last couple months and its taken up a crazy amount of my free time. We expanded our garden to be really huge last september in preparation for growing fruit and veggies. Then we decided to expand it another 6 more feet in one direction which we finally got finished last weekend. It was alot of work because our garden has an almost 6 foot tall deer fence all around it. We hammered in u-posts into the ground and attached the deer net and buried the bottom of the net so nothing will burrow under it. I should do measurements at some point to figure out its total volume. Its huge. lol.
      We have 3 apple trees, 3 cherry trees, and 1 nectarine tree in there. We still have to move 3 of those trees into their permanent locations (they are only 1 or 2 year old trees so its still possible to dig them up) and we have to plant a new apricot tree in there. I prepped the two rows for veggies last month but theres alot of weed whacking to do still and plants to move. We have 4 grape vines, 4 blueberry bushes and multiple raspberry plants to move. I started a bunch of veggies from seed and those tomatoes are still in an unused bath tub in my house with a light over them getting bigger every day. I'm looking forward to getting everything planted and done so all this gardening can give me a break.

      Well my dryer broke after about 15 years and multiple repairs I've done over those years. I had to buy a new dryer. So far so good. I was finally able to get my laundry done again and my bathroom no longer smells like dirty socks and febreeze.

      FML my pressure tank is failing for my well. Its getting replaced next week. Getting a new whole house water filter installed too along with some new valves and safety upgrades. Props to the well company employee for giving me the tip of hooking up an air compressor to the pressure tank to put some air in the bladder to get the system gimping along until the repair work is done. I miss public water. lol.

      This has been a busy summer. I'm almost looking forward to winter so I can get a break from all the lawn mowing and outside projects. Hopefully the snow blower I bought this year works good so I'll have alot of free time this winter to get caught up on things. When I've had free time I've been playing Final Fantasy X over the last 5 months and I've somehow finally hit 100 hours on it. Lol. Only took me about half a year.  I still didn't beat it yet but I'm at the end game stuff now with the monster arena and omega ruins.
