It was good yet not as good as the director's District 9. District 9's struggle was more personally experienced because the main character transformed into a quiet hero.

Elysium was more hero-centric right from the start. I also found it easier to relate to District 9's humanity/inhumanity/racism/acceptance message than the class struggle of Elysium. I can't say more without giving away plot. Generally class has much more subtle machinations that racism, and the ending actions in Elysium would only be part of a solution.

I am copying this directly from my response to Tony above:

I want pie.

[beartalon]

Pie would have been good. I like raspberry.

[labeartorycub]

Raspberry would be good. I haven't yet made one, but it can't be difficult.

I actually liked the cadence of the first two respondents' replies that I just had make a comment. 5 syllables, then 4, then 3.

[beartalon]

I guess the right cadence response would have been "Me too!"
