Ah, yes! “Elysium!”
No, I personally called that one “Idiocracy: the Prequel.” Now that you have me started, I must explain! Feel free to laugh!
That movie had Matt Damon begging to be allowed to work on a factory floor with a broken arm while his boss kept saying, “I can’t let youse woik like dat!” But, being a movie, he relents and then, naturally, Matt finds himself in a dangerous, work-related situation and needs help. Boss doesn’t care, “Ay! If youse don’t ged in dere and figs it, I’ll finds somebuddy WHO WILL!” Which leads to all the high-action shenanignas because Matt is nearly killed.
For their part, the people on Elysium basically took all their marbles and went home into space. “There! The earth is yours! ALL YOURS! Make the best of it!” But of course, they’re the big meanies because they the have magic beds that heal people miraculously and instantaneously. But, strangely, many of them still have to work on earth and, if they have a life-threatening owie where seconds count, the goodies are 20-30 minutes away. Because the big meanies wouldn’t have any of those devices on earth! NO WAY!
Stupid from beginning to end.
Yep, that’s it in a nutshell. A few freepers made the good point that the unspoken (and possibly unconscious) premise of the film is that the 99 percent are complete idiots who can’t manage their own lives, making it a perfect expression of the liberal worldview.
