After the excellent “District 9,” Neil Blomkamp is back with “Elysium.” This time around, it’s not about aliens raising hell in a shanty but part of mankind just trying to survive on a planet that’s been devastated while a few 1 percenters live comfortably in a space station.

In this new sci-fi feature film featuring piquant political subtext Matt Damon portrays the hero who accepts a mission which could very well tip the balance of power between these two worlds.
