Elysium

Matt Demon and Jodie Foster lead the cast of Neill Blomkamp's shrewdly revved-up and exciting dystopian thriller 'Elysium'. Blomkamp had earlier showcased his talent in his amazing first feature, "District 9" (2009) with the crazed spectacle of future decay.

Set in the year 2154, where the very wealthy live on a man-made space station while the rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth. Much of it takes place in a crumbling shantytown Los Angeles. Earth has become a great big slovenly police state, with citizens kept in check by clanging robot officers programmed to presume that you're guilty. That's when Max, a former car thief who now works on an assembly line, takes on a mission that could bring equality to the polarized worlds.

 The film is rated R for strong bloody violence and language throughout. It runs for 109 minutes. Here is the official site: itsbetterupthere.com .
