Elysium
In the year 2154, 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.
This was totally not what I was expecting when I started watching it- and it was a great movie. The visual story telling is awesome. The story falls down at times with inconsistencies and improbabilities, and the characters could have used a bit more development. But it's a great movie and I'd recommend it, and don't want to give anything else away with any of my takes on the movie. By Neill Blomkamp, it's not as good as District 9, but pretty darned close.
Repo Men
In the future humans have extended and improved our lives through highly sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called "The Union". The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you don't pay your bill, "The Union" sends its highly skilled repo men to take back its property... with no concern for your comfort or survival. Former soldier Remy is one of the best organ repo men in the business. But when he suffers a cardiac failure on the job, he awakens to find himself fitted with the company's top-of-the-line heart-replacement... as well as a hefty debt. But a side effect of the procedure is that his heart's no longer in the job. When he can't make the payments, The Union sends its toughest enforcer, Remy's former partner Jake, to track him down.
Disturbing and thought provoking- and not necessarily for the movie itself at times, but the implications for us and our medical debt system, this violent romp is really good, but like many movies, falls short of classic in a bit of a slip up in the last act. Still, very good- both in the visual storytelling and the story, though it could have used a bit more character development, Jude Law and Forrest Whitaker really sell what they're given.
... Just noticed that Alice Braga is in both. And... is one of the things that brings both of them down.
