Elysium (2013)

Elysium (2013) is dystopian thriller that takes place in the year 2154. Of course, by this point, Earth has been ravaged by man’s greed and perversions, and the once thriving planet has become a noxious void of misery. The poor are left on the devastated and overpopulated planet, policed by ruthless and unforgiving robots. On the other end of the spectrum, the rich live on Elysium, a luxurious space station full of wealth and amenities, including Med-Bays, a medical devise the inhabitants use to keep them free of disease and injury. Matt Damon stars as Max da Costa, a former burglar that lives in Los Angeles, working the assembly line at a military weapons complex. When Max is exposed to a lethal dose of radiation, giving him days to live, he must find a way to get to the titular shelter to seek healing in the Med-Bays. Concurrently, Max’s life saving mission to space station could possibly bring equality and social justice back to mankind.

It’s obvious that Matt Damon hit the gym for this film, because the handsome actor looks ripped and rocking when he removes his shirt in a couple of scenes, revealing his gym rat physique. We’ve seen the future, and the future is abtastically delicious!
