One of the most anticipated film of the year, and Neill Blomkamp’s long-awaited follow-up to District 9, Elysium is set in the year 2159, with mankind split between the super rich who live on a pristine, idyllic man-made space station, called Elysium, and the rest, who live on the overpopulated wasteland that is Earth. But when Max (Damon) has a life-threatening accident, his only chance of survival is to find a way onto Elysium, but that’s the last thing their residents desire. Elysium hits theatres August 9th in the States and August 23rd in the UK.
