Slickly orchestrated 'Elysium' lacks depth

Accordingly to a recent report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the gap between rich and poor in industrialised nations is accelerating.

Therefore, fast-forward a century to the setting of Neill Blomkamp’s ‘Elysium’, and it seems highly plausible the wealth divide will be so vast that only the privileged few will entertain the possibility of colonizing new worlds while the rest of us scrabble for scraps of comfort in the dirt of a dying planet.
