Could this be another winner from Neill Blomkamp? I sure hope so.

Elysium

Plot Summary: From IMDb: “Set in the year 2154, where the very wealthy live on a man-made space station while the rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth, a man takes on a mission that could bring equality to the polarized worlds”
Release Date: August 9, 2013

Trailer
Rating: C-
Commentary: I’m not sure how this has any potential to intrigue the audience. It mentions, but doesn’t show, Damon and Foster, which might be a poor decision. 		Rating: A
Commentary: Every time I see this trailer, something new peaks out from its depth making this look like a spectacular film. With all of the repeats, reruns and sequels this Summer, audiences may be craving some originality and this could be another $100 million hit for its director.

Oscar Chances: Neill Blomkamp dazzled in his debut, earning a Best Picture nomination for District 9, with Oscar winners Matt Damon and Jodie Foster on board this sci-fi drama, it could be another strong contender for year-end awards, if it’s as good as his first film.
