Pretty good.
Jason Bourne plays a cyborg sent back in time to kill a Stalinist Secretary of Defense played by Jodie Foster.

Isn't this a remake of Wall-E?

No, this is from the guy who did Monsters Inc. Much darker than Wall-E.
Proto,
How is this different than that anime shit Cartoon Network plays at like 2 in the morning?

After Matt Damon made a tree hugging, latte drinking, stop raping Mother Gaia, anti-fracking movie, he wanted to make a hip, cutting edge, sci-fi allegory for Obamacare that involved evil, rich, white skinned assholes hoarding universally deserved medical care/coverage from poor Mexicans, dumb niggers, and the stipud white trash that slums amongst the darkies.
Thus...Elysium was born.

Perhaps not according to Taki's Mag
Blomkamp I mean, not Damon
The auteur explains that he is:
…painting this realistic image of a future Earth…which meant the borders being erased entirely and having this fluid population group that basically moves from Chile all the way up to Canada. It just flows, because it can.…The numbers of people that are Latin are going to overwhelm the numbers of people that aren’t.
The rich, continuing to get richer from the collapse of the borders, have decamped for a gated community in the sky, recreating Beverly Hills in a delicate space station that rotates gently to produce gravity along its inner rim.
“The notion that art is about equality and niceness is just a cover story put out by artists to keep us poor schlumps from realizing what they are up to.”
Blomkamp, a gun-loving Afrikaner whose movies are based around his fear that the rapid breeding of Third Worlders threatens to bring down civilization, says Elysium originated in a disastrous visit to Mexico in 2005. While shooting a Nike commercial in lovely San Diego, the Boer crossed the border one evening to see Tijuana, where he was abducted by corrupt Mexican cops who shook him down for $900 in return for not killing him.
Despite the obviousness of Blomkamp’s parable about Mexican immigration’s catastrophic effects, Elysium has been universally interpreted as preaching the need for amnesty, open borders, and Obamacare.

Don't be stupid. The haves vs. the have-nots has always been a storyline. Ever heard of Robin Hood?
If you see a movie and think it's about Obamacare, you need to give politics a little less room in your head.

By completely misinterpreting the message behind the movie? Doubtful.
