@@Sizifus I'm pretty sure both Mars and Venus have terrestrial surfaces, making them both earth like planets. And Why do you say they do not count? Science is fact based and facts say they are both earth like planets, with earth like qualities.
They didn't have any defensive systems on that station to take out the ships? I mean, they had to get a guy on Earth to shoot four missiles all the way into space to stop them?
Plausible deniability. They can easily write off Kruger and deny any involvement, since he is an "independent contractor" acting on his own. For political reasons the station nor its government can shoot down immigrant ships. It wouldn't look good. This way, it just looks like some terrorist brought down the ships instead of the "elites" on the station. However, you can bet that station has enough weaponry to counter any threat. It has to defend itself at least against space junk and metoroids, etc.
As someone who is in the medical field, they did a surprisingly realistic job at a blast effect on someone’s face. I slowed it down while watching the movie and was very impressed by the deconstruction of bone structure and facial tissue. MAJOR props to the effects team
The movie has a space station of a size that currently we are unable to build, partly because of the enormous fuel needs to get the materials in place. Since the movie has that space station, it's safe to assume they also have a highly (cost) efficient way to transport cargo and people, maybe in the form of a novel propulsion system. Or, you know, it's a movie.
I swear I re watch this movie just for the aesthetic, the clean and slick look of Elysium vs the grunge and gritty look of earth. What a god tier artwork this is!
It doesn’t matter if the plot is weak or the script is weak. The visuals and aesthetic of this movie are so damn cool. Such an underrated sci fi movie.
Jesus fuck what kind of missiles are that small yet strong enough to leave Earth's atmosphere and hone in on foreign targets without a lock-on. All the technology in this movie made no sense and are all fucking awesome.
I think Blomkamp was supposed to work on a Halo adaptation with Peter Jackson, but it got scrapped. So whatever concepts that were meant for the adaptation came to Elysium.
The action, the tech, the weapons and the visuals in this movie are awesome. The writing not so much. Neil Bloomkap is better when he has a co-writer work with him.

A shoulder-fired missile, with enough fuel and speed to not only reach orbit, but catch up to and destroy a spaceship that was only 2 minutes from reaching its final destination. Amazing story telling Neil, just amazing.
@@AlejandraRodriguez-eb7vc good science fiction has to at least obey the laws of physics. It was lazy writing nothing more. It would have been more fitting to activate a satellite in orbit to shoot a missile at it.
I mean have you tried the math ? - maybe this is a ultra futuristic hypersonic capable missile - 2 minutes to get to orbit (150km) at hypersonic speeds ( 30k km/hr) is seriously doable . The science fiction part of this is the package size . I mean 2 minutes at just 4500km/hr puts you above 150km .
The rich are already leaving L.A. - global warming-induced drought and wildfires are making it unlivable. The super-rich don't care as they know that there are plenty of places, like Scotland and Norway, where they are far above sea level, have vast freshwater lakes and global warming will actually have a positive effect for a generation. Elysium will exist but they will be heavily protected nations on earth, outside the dying zones.

Despite all the movie's flaws, Neill Blomkamp really knows how to get some top notch VFX in his movies and how to use them effectively with cinematography, like the shots in space are beautiful.
I would say that is the high-tech version of real life in every country with few exceptions. The elite isolate themselves in bubbles of well being and protection and the poor are left to rot and die.
2:01 Give that guy a raise, he's like, not today. To me that was one of the best parts in this movie, especially after watching the other two refugee ships get taken out. I was like, GOOD JOB!
Anyone think about the debris of the "destroyed" ships continuing to head toward the habitat? The vehicles didn't "disintegrate" into nothing. Your intercept would have to happen before the ships reached an orbital velocity.
This film is a lot like reality in some ways: the poor people live in shit times and squalor with robotic and obtuse police watching them while the rich and powerful are living in a world of their own.
Same Neil blomkamp is a terrific filmmaker! Imagine if he had been the one who made a Total Recall reboot and not fucking Len Wiseman? I would love to see him tackle that with today's technology of course! xD
I like how things are just floating around inside the ships as if there is no gravity but their hair are still getting pulled down. Still a pretty good movie!
@@オールマイト-y1f The ships here are under constant thrust (in order to catch up with the orbit of the space station). In space you have no air or other kinds of drag to slow you down, thus you can accelerate indefinitely. As for your analogy, it'd be like jumping up in a train that starts accelerating, which would make you "fall" towards the back of the train. You should watch/read The Expanse. They show this phenomenon (thrust-gravity) very well. Hope this clears it up a bit.
@@オールマイト-y1f If you lost braincells reading that, then you honestly need some common sense. On a train, the train doesn't accelerate, it cruises at a consistent pace most of the time. That's why if you jump you jump straight up, you and the train are going at the same speed. However in the movie they were ACCELERATING to catch up with the orbit of the Elysium. As in, the ship was constantly getting faster, so let's say the ship was going around, 4 km/s and accelerating at maybe 2 gs for the sake of explanation. When you jump in a ship accelerating at 2gs, during the first instant you are going at the same speeds. However, the next second, the ship is going 20 m/s faster due to its 2g acceleration, so you'd "fly backward". If the ship wasnt accelerating and had artificial gravity then that wouldn't happen.
I liked more Kruger than Matt, also the hole story was nice and I think is showing the same problems we are facing now with massive migration in EU or USA
That is nowhere close to an act of war, you granted it clearance, it experienced a mid-flight malfunction, the malfunction being a minor explosion onboard, and it then crashed as a result.
I believe it was Ben Bova that wrote a novel called "Colony" about a type 5 habitat (two cylinders) at L5. One cylinder was the billionaire playground. The main character was a young man who was genetically engineered and cyberneticly wired to the habitat network. Been a long time since I read that. "Ellysium" make think of a Stanford torus
I don't know how the Elysium (low orbit habitat) could have an open ceiling without all the air escaping into space (and letting unauthorized space shuttles crash land). I didn't see a force field either. Earth has many tons of pressure from layers of air pressing down from many kilometers of atmosphere but Elysium on has a few meters. For me this was the only dissapointing part of the movie.
It's theoretically possible. And I think we might be able to achieve it now to be honest. look into Stanford Torus. The thing that really made no sense was the space station wasn't spinning, like at all. No spinning then nothing on that thing works.
Why Crueger is needed to launch those three rockets, everything is automatised there, they find the target their own, why cant they just shoot out from the van.
What a bad flick! It makes me sad. All the wasted potential drained for posterity due to weak storytelling. In summary, the flick wanted to contrast illegal immigration to the USA with some other higher meanings that get lost the further it goes, and makes no sense within its own universe. The final result is sterile!
Its not about ilegal immigration to the USA. Its about social aphartaid, its about rich people concentrating wealth and power closing themselves in islands of perfect education and health, private condos, while the poor get abandoned.
Well, I would say this was a classical liberal movie. It was about the goals of classical (not radical) liberalism - fairness, anti-exploitation, compassion for those less fortunate. It was what liberalism was like in the 80's, before Obama radicalized them.
@@demorcef "Glad to see you are still obsessed with Obama after all these years, loser" Wow, criticizing a corrupt president makes someone a "loser"? So I guess being a "winner" (by your logic) means being okay with the corruption of the worst president in history? The fact that you think that way shows that you cannot tell right from wrong.
and money. it would take world's worth of BDP, several times! not to mention materials, launch costs and quantity... for a structure this big, you need to have a purpose to build it. and not just as a haven for rich minority...
@@alphatrion4365 Which really doesn't make much sense to blow it up if they want to protect the ring station. Wouldn't just tracking the ships where they land and have the robots and police forces stand by at the designated places and wait for them make more logical sense? It'll be pretty hard for them to run and hide on a STATION of all places.
I can't help myself from wondering how its atmosphere, opened to Space vacuum, is generated and maintained. And how it protects the inhabitants from Space hazards, as it looks quite shallow. I know, it's a fiction...but anyway !
I think the director said the ceiling on the torus was made of controlled plasma that was strong enough to hold air in but weak enough for ships to pass through
To me not that plausible. To build a massive ring world like that. You'd need to build it pretty much entirely with automation. Aka, there would be no cost. The only cost being electrical power and time. So why just build one? Why not pump out a ton of autonomous construction bots and build hundreds or thousands of these worlds simultaneously? And then why not apply these construction bots to earth? Wed be able to pump out massive megaprojects housing hundreds of thousands of people with the snap of a finger. Its tiring how AI and automation is completely ignored in scifi stories. Especially when its so close to being a realty in humanities future.
Just imagine living their... No worries.. just peace, love, and fun. Real authentic food, Beautiful technology and access to top tier medical services... We should be able to do that here also.
So the downloadable encrypted software in your brain, the personal Bugatti spaceship, the AK-47 firing high explosive rounds, the robot sentries, the personal forcefield, the chemrailgun, and the medical beds that can rebuild your face are all believable?
@@dinoflagella4185 Actually the downloaded software was facilitated by a cybernetic computer implant, which could be linked to the nervous system with some cutting edge technology. Explosive tipped rounds do exist, and there is a type of bullet called a "gyrojet" which is essentially a bullet with a rocket propeller. Forcefields are already a field of technology the US military is getting into, the basic premise being a "screen" of ionized particles. Software is evolving very fast, certainly enough to be used to compute hostiles, and balance a bipedal robot to an extent.
Dmytry B Don't agree, I find her completely 'hammy' in this movie (I'm not saying she's a bad actress, just in this), I think Cait Blanchett would've been better in the part. Future dictator? maybe, I read her character's based on Marine Le Pen.
Sarge Rho , when i made my comment it was for at the time when halo film was in some development hell and this film (elysium) came out instead. but, Yes. now, the technology is there to make a Halo film. the question is...would a mainstream Hollywood studio will helm a Halo film? or, would some other studio who knows what they are doing is going to do a good darn job of a Halo film. yes, I am already aware of the Halo TV live series (is it on DVD tho?).
Halo needs to add alot to the storyline to be a movie. The cutscenes alone would only make a halo TV series, but not really a proper movie. Its not impossible and I don't know why people haven't done that yet.
I think if Europeans built a spaceship & said "see you everyone, we're moving to Mars" Latin America, Africa, Arabs & various Asian nations would be running at the ship yelling "Where you going? we're coming too!"
those who support border control should be shipped off to the concentration camps they intend for others, so mere villification is quite moderate in comparison.
@@perfectsplit5515 What does not following through with building the wall have to do with Antifa? It’s funny because you and Antifa probably have more in common than your average American.

You know while this is a movie. If Elon and all of his rich friends i could see this being the case. Living in a utopia, above everyone watching while everyone else suffers below. And expects trade and supply from the service ensuring that ONLY super rich and privileged get to live.. This is the wealth, social, disparity in moving picture.
First scene is cool but who the hell wouldn't have a defensive battery by your trillion dollar station? Doesn't make any sense, you have to call Earth to shoot and your in essence shooting towards your station instead of having a missile battery on the station shooting away?! dumb.
@Justin McCoy agreed they didn't want to get hands dirty but the missiles could have hit the station. if fired from station, that wouldn't be a problem.

Same Neil blomkamp is a terrific filmmaker! Imagine if he had been the one who made a Total Recall reboot and not fucking Len Wiseman? I would love to see him tackle that with today's technology of course! xD
Because who wouldn't want Elysium to look like the Southern California depicted in the movie?
I like how things are just floating around inside the ships as if there is no gravity but their hair are still getting pulled down. Still a pretty good movie!
Stuff should actually fall to the back of the ship, since they're under thrust. But hey, it's SciFi. We don't watch it for the scientific accuracy.
@@meteroson6428No it shouldn't lol. Next time you're on a train jump as high as you can while its going 80mph. Did you fly to the back of the cart?
@@オールマイト-y1f The ships here are under constant thrust (in order to catch up with the orbit of the space station). In space you have no air or other kinds of drag to slow you down, thus you can accelerate indefinitely. As for your analogy, it'd be like jumping up in a train that starts accelerating, which would make you "fall" towards the back of the train.
You should watch/read The Expanse. They show this phenomenon (thrust-gravity) very well.
Hope this clears it up a bit.
@@meteroson6428 I think I jus lost braincells reading that to be quite honest. Want to give that another try buttercup?
@@オールマイト-y1f If you lost braincells reading that, then you honestly need some common sense. On a train, the train doesn't accelerate, it cruises at a consistent pace most of the time. That's why if you jump you jump straight up, you and the train are going at the same speed. However in the movie they were ACCELERATING to catch up with the orbit of the Elysium. As in, the ship was constantly getting faster, so let's say the ship was going around, 4 km/s and accelerating at maybe 2 gs for the sake of explanation. When you jump in a ship accelerating at 2gs, during the first instant you are going at the same speeds. However, the next second, the ship is going 20 m/s faster due to its 2g acceleration, so you'd "fly backward". If the ship wasnt accelerating and had artificial gravity then that wouldn't happen.
This woman has visitors arrive at her house in taxi : I want every person in that vehicle apprehended immediately!
One of my favorite movies.
Also notice how rich people talk french like deuchebags lol
In the run up to the 2016 election there were tons of sci fi movies where the villain was "Evil Pantsuit Woman"
and now we'll be back to dumpy and fat white guy again. Hey, I could have a career in that in a few years lol!
Haha I didn't notice that, BANZAI!
Krueger made the movie
And Jody Foster as well.
I liked more Kruger than Matt, also the hole story was nice and I think is showing the same problems we are facing now with massive migration in EU or USA
Love this movie, but yes Krueger was a great character
How the h*ll are we supposed to believe they have an open atmosphere in the vacuum of space?
How do you think earth atmosphere works?
@@M0butu Um, gravity.
@@M0butu Centripetal force cant contain an atmosphere in a vacuum without killing everyone in its path
Jody Foster is hands down one of my favorite actresses
She is baberaham Lincoln!
That is nowhere close to an act of war, you granted it clearance, it experienced a mid-flight malfunction, the malfunction being a minor explosion onboard, and it then crashed as a result.
The part where it’s indeed more complicated to expel them then to keep’em out is realistic.
I believe it was Ben Bova that wrote a novel called "Colony" about a type 5 habitat (two cylinders) at L5. One cylinder was the billionaire playground. The main character was a young man who was genetically engineered and cyberneticly wired to the habitat network. Been a long time since I read that. "Ellysium" make think of a Stanford torus
I don't know how the Elysium (low orbit habitat) could have an open ceiling without all the air escaping into space (and letting unauthorized space shuttles crash land). I didn't see a force field either. Earth has many tons of pressure from layers of air pressing down from many kilometers of atmosphere but Elysium on has a few meters. For me this was the only dissapointing part of the movie.
It's theoretically possible. And I think we might be able to achieve it now to be honest. look into Stanford Torus. The thing that really made no sense was the space station wasn't spinning, like at all. No spinning then nothing on that thing works.
Gravity is achieved through rotation, no need for force field. Gravity keeps both people and air on the ground.
@@オールマイト-y1f Once diameter is sufficiently large, the spin can be very slow, say one full spin every 2-3 minutes, so it's almost imperceptible.
@@danesovic7585 one full spin ever 3 minutes is far from imperceptible.......
@@オールマイト-y1f Actually, I just checked, the diameter for Elysium is given as 45km so for 1g you just need 1 spin every 20 min or so.
Why Crueger is needed to launch those three rockets, everything is automatised there, they find the target their own, why cant they just shoot out from the van.
What a bad flick! It makes me sad. All the wasted potential drained for posterity due to weak storytelling. In summary, the flick wanted to contrast illegal immigration to the USA with some other higher meanings that get lost the further it goes, and makes no sense within its own universe. The final result is sterile!
Its not about ilegal immigration to the USA. Its about social aphartaid, its about rich people concentrating wealth and power closing themselves in islands of perfect education and health, private condos, while the poor get abandoned.
Elysium: The world's most expensive ObozoCare commercial.
Well, I would say this was a classical liberal movie. It was about the goals of classical (not radical) liberalism - fairness, anti-exploitation, compassion for those less fortunate. It was what liberalism was like in the 80's, before Obama radicalized them.
@@perfectsplit5515 Obama did not radicalize anyone...you conservatives need to stop drinking that dumb fuck juice
Glad to see you are still obsessed with Obama after all these years, loser!
@@GreaterThanGodLike well played sir! 🤣
@@demorcef "Glad to see you are still obsessed with Obama after all these years, loser"
Wow, criticizing a corrupt president makes someone a "loser"? So I guess being a "winner" (by your logic) means being okay with the corruption of the worst president in history?
The fact that you think that way shows that you cannot tell right from wrong.
A possible future for the space nation so call Asgardia.
I want everyone in this comment section apprehended by homeland security!
That's not even a joke.
If these are the two best scenes than I know I don't want to watch the rest of the movie.
The last ship wasn't destroyed because main characters. xD
My questuon is how much time taken to build a structure that big
and money. it would take world's worth of BDP, several times! not to mention materials, launch costs and quantity... for a structure this big, you need to have a purpose to build it. and not just as a haven for rich minority...
Maintenance cost alone would require all of USAs GDP!
This is what we're heading for. Men like Bezos and Musk are making this a reality
Soooo, what about all that flying debris from the blown up ships flying at hyper velocity now careening at the station?
Was wondering about that too. Inertia exists in space last I checked.
@@alphatrion4365 Which really doesn't make much sense to blow it up if they want to protect the ring station. Wouldn't just tracking the ships where they land and have the robots and police forces stand by at the designated places and wait for them make more logical sense? It'll be pretty hard for them to run and hide on a STATION of all places.
@@romankvapil9184 it had to be dramatic. Dramatic = explosions
many people though the next level of visual effects is AVATAR. Yes, until you see Elysium in the theater.
Hahaha Avatar anytime over Elysium
Elysium looks like a pentagram
No, absolutely no
That's because it's full of *satan.*
@@czos9239 ???
@@czos9239 wtf
I think somehow Elysium is in the same universe as Interstellar with the curve atnosphere in Interstellar
I can't help myself from wondering how its atmosphere, opened to Space vacuum, is generated and maintained.
And how it protects the inhabitants from Space hazards, as it looks quite shallow.
I know, it's a fiction...but anyway !
look into Stanford Torus.
I think the director said the ceiling on the torus was made of controlled plasma that was strong enough to hold air in but weak enough for ships to pass through
They have an entire planet and still are trying to illegally cross borders in space.
One of my favorite movies. Futuristic, yet very plausible.
To me not that plausible. To build a massive ring world like that. You'd need to build it pretty much entirely with automation. Aka, there would be no cost. The only cost being electrical power and time. So why just build one? Why not pump out a ton of autonomous construction bots and build hundreds or thousands of these worlds simultaneously? And then why not apply these construction bots to earth? Wed be able to pump out massive megaprojects housing hundreds of thousands of people with the snap of a finger. Its tiring how AI and automation is completely ignored in scifi stories. Especially when its so close to being a realty in humanities future.
Just imagine living their... No worries.. just peace, love, and fun. Real authentic food, Beautiful technology and access to top tier medical services... We should be able to do that here also.
It is happening in communities around the world ( think Switzerland, Monaco, Singapore, Polynesia, Scandinavian countries, Uruguay)
Totally unbelievable.... those shoulder launched missiles would not have the range to reach into space above earth atmosphere....
So the downloadable encrypted software in your brain, the personal Bugatti spaceship, the AK-47 firing high explosive rounds, the robot sentries, the personal forcefield, the chemrailgun, and the medical beds that can rebuild your face are all believable?
@@dinoflagella4185 Ikr... So many stuck on the shoulder mountrd rocket.... Maybr a statement was being made about space travel.
@@dinoflagella4185 Actually the downloaded software was facilitated by a cybernetic computer implant, which could be linked to the nervous system with some cutting edge technology. Explosive tipped rounds do exist, and there is a type of bullet called a "gyrojet" which is essentially a bullet with a rocket propeller. Forcefields are already a field of technology the US military is getting into, the basic premise being a "screen" of ionized particles. Software is evolving very fast, certainly enough to be used to compute hostiles, and balance a bipedal robot to an extent.
I just realized they have the atmosphere roof exposed which is not even remotely possible to do.
Yes it is. Centrifugal force. The "walls" (side panels of the structure will keep the atmosphere in as long as the structure is rotating.
She looks like Jill Stein.
If Jodie Foster's in the scene it ain't one of the best, she sucks in this movie.
Bing Sinatra no she is great, real future dictator
Dmytry B Don't agree, I find her completely 'hammy' in this movie (I'm not saying she's a bad actress, just in this), I think Cait Blanchett would've been better in the part. Future dictator? maybe, I read her character's based on Marine Le Pen.
She definitely looks like Christine Lagarde to me
Jonadovnic Now that would a strange movie! ;)
and they say, they can't do Halo film. like really? this film has a "halo".
They can do a Halo film. They've made 2 TV series, even.
Sarge Rho , when i made my comment it was for at the time when halo film was in some development hell and this film (elysium) came out instead. but, Yes. now, the technology is there to make a Halo film. the question is...would a mainstream Hollywood studio will helm a Halo film? or, would some other studio who knows what they are doing is going to do a good darn job of a Halo film. yes, I am already aware of the Halo TV live series (is it on DVD tho?).
No a halo but a ring
@@notworth9747 , that's why I have the word halo in quotation mark as in " halo " to mean "ring" or giant ring-like structure in space.
Halo needs to add alot to the storyline to be a movie. The cutscenes alone would only make a halo TV series, but not really a proper movie. Its not impossible and I don't know why people haven't done that yet.
If that was Jodie Foster"s attempt at a British accent then she fails miserably
French i think that’s what she said in the extras
I think if Europeans built a spaceship & said "see you everyone, we're moving to Mars" Latin America, Africa, Arabs & various Asian nations would be running at the ship yelling "Where you going? we're coming too!"
I guess
Homeland Security, it makes a difference when a psycho is in charge.
Yes, it's an effective way of vilifying those who support border control.
@@Jianju69 Is that what you call throwing kids in cages?
those who support border control should be shipped off to the concentration camps they intend for others, so mere villification is quite moderate in comparison.
lets build a wall between earth and elysium, im gonna tell you something, they gonna pay for that wall, and we will make elysium great again
i dont think i will ever get tired of making fun of the the big asshole
Go burn something down with the rest of your ANTIFA terrorists in Portland, scumbag.
@@perfectsplit5515 What does not following through with building the wall have to do with Antifa? It’s funny because you and Antifa probably have more in common than your average American.
@@iap6647 What does attacking anyone who opposes Cultural Marxism have to do with a wall?
The person who has things in common with ANTIFA is the one who attacks the symbol of opposition to Cultural Marxism.
@@perfectsplit5515 Maybe, but are you denying there are no parallels between the Antifa protests and the Trump insurrection on Jan. 6th (ideology aside)?
One way Ticket for Jeff bezos please
So much potential
when you first saw Halo, were you blinded by it's majesty?
Jody Foster played an excellent villain.
Best line...... I'm sorry I fucked up someones lawn. LOL and yelling, I'm gonna take his fucking head off.
The fact that those shoulder fired missiles can go sub-orbital...
You know while this is a movie. If Elon and all of his rich friends i could see this being the case. Living in a utopia, above everyone watching while everyone else suffers below. And expects trade and supply from the service ensuring that ONLY super rich and privileged get to live..
This is the wealth, social, disparity in moving picture.
Vehicle shown with engines firing. Loose objects shown floating around in the cabin.
Physics grade: F
First scene is cool but who the hell wouldn't have a defensive battery by your trillion dollar station? Doesn't make any sense, you have to call Earth to shoot and your in essence shooting towards your station instead of having a missile battery on the station shooting away?! dumb.
A MANPAD that can hit spacecraft in orbit is a scary piece of technology.
Daniel Jackson really let his ethics go after the Stargate program got cancelled and he went to work for Elysium control.
just a movie but shooting missiles from the station makes more sense. closer, less rocket fuel, faster, etc
PLORZIBUL DINAHABILTY! DIPLUBATIK IBBUNITY!
@Justin McCoy agreed they didn't want to get hands dirty but the missiles could have hit the station. if fired from station, that wouldn't be a problem.
This is where Jeff Bezos will be in 30 years.This movie is a precursor to what is going to happen on earth.
We will all live this if we continue to do nothing.
@Not Alfie Same as yours idiot....
bold you to assume our civilization is capable of the initiative required to produce this space station.
For those who want a prequel, just look how Europe secures its maritime borders.
