Unfortunately Elysium doesn't quite live up to his previous film.
Not to say it's bad, in fact it's filled with some wonderful & creative ideas, thought provoking themes and some amazing visuals but Blomkamp seemed to forget to add any dimension to his characters this time around. With what little characterization there is, it almost feels like a Saturday morning cartoon. It's heavy weaknesses aside, Elysium is still an enjoyable sci-fi thrill ride that rises above most of the other trash they try to pull off as sci-fi these days.
