Wonderfully realised vision of a dystopia where the bulk of the population live nasty, brutish and short lives on a ruined earth while rather less billionaires float around in a flying donut in outer space. In it, they've near eliminated disease and their world looks very much like the posher regions of Hollywood - only with more robots.If I'm being honest, I find this has more rewatch value than director Blomkamp's debut District 9. It explores some of the same ideas, but benefits from a bigger budget for cast and special effects. The cast is a good range of upcoming, can't quite put a name to and A-listers like Damon & Foster. Damon makes for a good beefy everyman, while Foster is a perfectly judged obnoxious politician.
Verdict: Only the last act falls slightly flat.
