Elysium review

I saw Blomkamp's new movie, Elysium last night.   Though not, in my opinion, as good as District 9,  which was an absolute classic,  if you want an action/adventure thriller, it certainly does the job.  I think that Blomkamp is a modern day Jonathan Swift.  Both he and swift can be seen as passionate social critics, framing their criticism in strange si-fi adventures, and they both paint with pretty broad strokes.   But Swift did it with more humor and irony.  After you see Elysium, rent the DVD for District 9.
