Watchlist:
In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes, a hard line government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn’t stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that, if successful, will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.
Why you might like this:
Elysium (2013), directed by Neill Blomkamp, offers a visually stunning and thought-provoking blend of science fiction, action, and social commentary. Fans of Blomkamp's gritty, socially-conscious style will appreciate the film's exploration of wealth inequality, class divisions, and the struggle for human dignity in a future where the privileged few live in luxury while the masses suffer on a depleted Earth.
