District 9 was much much better. They tried to do too much in Elysium. They showed a future where the gap between rich and poor would increase so much that rich would move away and live on a man created heaven. And then they had this Cylons and then the brain transmitting tech and superhero body attachments and magical med bays that can reconstruct anything and everything but only when the storyline needs it. An AI system deciding who runs the government, who gets to live on Elysium. And then a love story. And then a romeo juliet style ending. And then a Snake from Metal Gear Solid with British accent with his own strange issues.
