This thing was bad.

Warning: Spoilers
I have to split up my review.

1. Scenery and CGI

The images are great the world is very powerful in its appearance, every single shot has remarkable impact on the viewer i liked the world more than avatar or any other sci-fi movie. Also the setting is pretty close to Battle Angel Alita which was a awesome animation series which makes me still happy when i think about it.

But thats it, thats all the good i can say about it.

2. Characters

The characters are not very likable, the criminals in this movie are all pretty messed up and fail to make impact on the viewer, the intentions are unclear and even shift much too fast to be believable. The people living on the good side on the other hand are just cold and boring they fail to make me fear the power they have or the importance they seem to have. They just appear as stupid boring people doing nothing but sunbathing and playing in the pool.

3. Plot Development

Every single scene feels so forced, lets talk about some examples here.

The scene were our main char are severely hurt and has to be rescued by our female main char is utterly unbelievable its not very likable that he is close enough to walk to her house without being spotted, but even worse when he leaves the house instantly there is this drone waiting for him but why and how did it know...

Its not that I'm searching for those plot holes, if its not that obvious i don't feel annoyed by it.

Next they travel back to Elysium. After they arrived and got caught they don't remove this mechanical body support even on the medical bench and this woman and kid are with him in the same room he is operated in. Obviously to share this 2 lines of text there, and then they put them in the ammunition room instead of the jail.

Also changing the status of citizen to legal by manipulating the computer system is utterly useless because it can just be undone. What needed to happen would be a shift in politics but thats not reached by any means even worse it feels like now they have a reason to not let anyone in.

The Characters are so terrible, really TERRIBLE!!! Each and every single one of them doesn't make sense and is boring. Just thinking about them make me angry, every single person in this movie is just a terrible human being. Also no one is clever, no one is doing anything specific i could exchange nearly all the characters and nearly nothing would change.

Well enough is enough i really hate this movie so very much. Its just disgusting that this reached the big screen.

How can people swallow this?
