Elysium

Ever since I first heard that this movie was being made, I've been anxiously waiting for the first footage. And finally the trailer is out.

I hope you all enjoy it and that it peeks your interest as much as it does mine. From the footage shown in the trailer, this looks like an ambitious film. Not only in scope, but in meaning. If you've seen Neil Blomkamp's first film, District 9, then you know you're in for a ride. Apparently, much like his last film, Elysium is deeply rooted in social commentary. Class struggle. Capitalism. Corrupt government. Not topics you'd usually find in a sci-fi film.  When you combine a deep message, with great action, a solid story, and the talent of Jodie Foster and Matt Damon, you know you're in for a treat.

After seeing this - I can't wait for August to arrive (please watch this full screen, in HD).
