There is no denying it. Elysium is plainly a 110 minute anti-capitalist polemic; and as such many critics have painted it as a $115 million essay by an emotionally distant Marxist. But having seen it at long last, I must say such comments not only undermine the smartest sci-fi since District 9 – they criminally under-rate Neill Blomkamp (who wrote and directed both) as a film-maker.
