In just two films, Neil Blomkamp has solidified himself as one of the most original and visionary directors of his generation. Elysium may ultimately not be able to top District 9 in my heart, but it easily falls into my top 10 films of 2013, and most likely into my top five sci-fi films of the past decade. On top of two amazing films, he is responsible for introducing the world to Shartlo Copley, an actor who I have completely fallen in love with, and will be the sole reason I end up seeing Spike Lee’s abomination of a remake of ‘Oldboy’. Blomkamps attention to detail is unmatched, and it appears that he is able to produce everything on screen that his mind is able to conjure when crafting these films. I can’t recommend this film highly enough, as with all the sequels and remakes we are forced to endure, a film and story this unique is sadly becoming more and more a rarity these days.
Travis Bickle’s slow and steady progress from being a culturally disabled insomniac towards being an incompetent vigilante. A very slow progress.
Jodie Foster’s adorable smile kept it going a couple of minutes, but the relationship between Betsy and Tom continued to be the most interesting part to me.
