    Can't wait to watch Matt Shapard get some help from Urdnot Wrex and Garrus. I think in this one Matt Shepard will probably romance Miranda and dump dat army hoe Ashley.

    It looks like something made from a screenplay rejected by James Cameron for his 'Battle Angel' movie.

    Trailer looks pretty cool and I like the story. This is a frequent idea in sci-fi about humans or some other species splitting into two with one group living in a utopian place, usually physically above the other group, while the other lives in a crowded squalid conditions down below.

    Super pumped about this. District 9 in my opinion is the best Sci Fi movie of the last ten years. Still waiting on the sequel...

    My only worry is that it's too much like District 9...

    Basically it looks like Earth=Slums from District 9 and Elysium=The rest of Earth from District 9.

    District 9 was great, but I hope they do something different, and I think they will.

    So Shepard will not be fighting Aliens then? He's just fighting Cerberus?

    Seriously I would love to see Neill Blomkamp tackle a Mass Effect movie. Been hearing that it's in some development hell but maybe Neill Blomkamp is pitching himself for that director's chair.

    As long as the audience don't have to pay additional fees for DLCs and alternate endings. Not even Marauder Shields can save that one.

    Damon has been trying to peddle left wing agitprop for years and they all bomb.

    He finally wised up and realized you have to be more subtle about it. Make a tent pole blockbuster and sucker punch the audience with whatever political message you want.

    Unfortunately, this looks like a paint by numbers sci fi flick that will be drowned out by every other similar summer film.

    Doubt it after the Halo debacle. He seems content doing his own thing.


    Now that's the trailer I was waiting for! The teaser just didn't do enough for me.

    Definitely this is the movie I have been waiting for. Looks like we're in for another solid sci-fi from Neill Blomkamp.
