Neil Blomkamp had an amazing feature film debut with District 9 and for his second movie, Elysium, he looks to be outdoing himself! With a budget that is a rumoured $70 million larger than what he had to play with for District 9, Elysium looks absolutely amazing. Not to say that District 9 didn’t look great, it did. After all Blomkamp comes from a Visual Effects background so you’d expect he knows exactly what he wants and how it should look!
Anyway, the trailer for Elysium has arrived and not only does it look amazing, it seems to be certainly packing a punch. Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think in the comments!
Synopsis: 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 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.
Released: August 9th USA / September 20th IRELAND & UK
