Well as we all have heard Elysium was released in theaters on Aug, 9th 2013 and was heard to be a great sci-fi movie like district 9. According to CNN Entertainment Matt Damon the main character in the film made Elysium "work". The main character Max was attached metal parts to the outside of his body. These parts allow him to be strong and have strengths that go beyond human strengths. The director Neill Blomkamp is also the director of the 2009 film District 9. District 9 was a low budget film that was surprisingly a big hit. The Film Elysium was another hit to show the true talent of Blomkamp. The part of Max in the film was brilliant and added a super hero figure to the movie with his special suite. Yet, Damon himself is what made the movie work overall. Damon has been successful in many other movies but not in this way and that is what made it more interesting to watch then his other films.


This article caught my eye because I have seen the film Elysium already and when I read it, it immediately caught my eye because I understood when they said Matt Damon and of course the director was the reason the film worked.



This article impacted me as a teen because if I haven't watched the film before and wanted to know if it was worth watching it is helpful to know that it is. This article is informative with information and a summary of the movie helping a consumer or a film student interested in watching the movie making the choice.



If Matt Damon didn't star in this film would it have still worked?
