(Again) Belated Movie Review - "Elysium".

This production is probably best seen on a big - screen, and not because it is a violent movie

(though not with the same bloody scenes in some recent productions as ends in themselves) with a theme overall that might be considered vigilante, but due to the kind of epic scale of the thing without its really trying to be so.  This is a feature film, extremely well - done, that again shows the clash of the forces of evil and good, and not just saints and sinners involved here in a plot you must pay attention to that is a rocky ride through everything from urban firefighting for guerillas and spies to very elegant space flight to a formidable castle in the sky.  I can not give away the plot, and while many people have already seen this movie, it shows a pitched and hotly contested battle not between the empire and Luke Skywalker types, but an environment where the existence of technologies and the spirits of this brutally and mortally work by nature against the code between everyone as a member of the human family.  Really something here that will hold you in your seat, good acting and with very real special effects.  Overall and in detail an outstanding Hollywood film for young people.
