A big mess. Not awful, just frustrating. No characters, just ciphers and walking plot-devices, lots of cliches, plot-holes, clumsy exposition and sledgehammer one-percent themes, and it felt more like a music-video director's first film than the sophomore effort of the District 9 guy. And as much as I love Sharlto Copley, his character is just another of those District 9 nameless saffer dickhead mercenaries.
I felt a big misstep was showing Elysium before they actually got there - it was so dull and broad. Wish the film had spent more time on Earth building that world and having Elysium as some unreachable paradise.
