Elysium Official Trailer #2

Elysium is one of the coolest science fiction film concepts I have ever seen!!!

In this film which takes place in the year 2154. The “Privileged” live on a massive space station that orbits the earth called Elysium. While the rest of humanity live on earth. Earth is a third world totalitarian police state with people treated like cattle. Robots patrol, and maintain order.

We find our hero Max played by actor (Matt Damon) just out of prison
in a life and death battle for survival. Finding out the only way to save himself, and humanity is to break into where the privileged live aka Elysium. Max is then outfitted with technology that allows him to override there security system. Three spaceships then head to Elysium.

Enjoy!! :)

drgrlucas: Speculative Fiction This class explores the genre of science fiction in the last half of the twentieth century in short stories, novels, films, and futurism. Much of humanity’s hopes and fears about its relationship with the universe is explored by the various writers and directors known for their work in science fiction. Science, or speculative, fiction also considers humanity’s responses to changes in the level of science and technology. This class will consider science fiction as located historically and attempt to relate culturally texts that explore, discover, learn, by means of projection, extrapolation, analogue, hypothesis-and-paper-experimentation, something about the nature of the universe, of humanity, of “reality.” Cyberpunk, world building, gender, cyborgs, robots, space travel, aliens, war, time travel, mad computers, and other similar subjects will fall under the purview of the course.
