I am seeing Neill Blomkamp‘s sophomore effort Elysium this Friday and quite honestly, I’m pretty excited as my expectations have grown and grown for this one thanks to a rather lackluster summer, but more because of the little snippets I’ve seen of it here and there not to mention the fact Sony is screening it a week early, which is rarely their M.O. outside of New York and Los Angeles.
Today I have a new clip of the movie for you directly below as star Matt Damon takes on a robot. Elysium hits theaters on August 9.
In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) will stop at nothing to preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium – but that doesn’t stop the people of Earth from trying to get in by any means they can. Max (Matt Damon) agrees to take on a life-threatening mission, one that could bring equality to these polarized worlds.
