132. Chappie

So after loving District 9 and really trying to enjoy Elysium, Neill Blomkamp seems to be on a similar career trajectory as Jason Reitman.

While Chappie maintains Blomkamp's visual and technical prowess, it has massive holes in the logic (the main supplier of robot policeman has no security whatsoever?) and a depressingly infantile script. 

It's tonally all over the shop and real fucking mess. Here's hoping he doesn't write the script for the Alien Sequel.

92. Elysium

Why would you want to live on Elysium? Apart from the tanning machines that cure every disease known to man it looks pretty, pretty boring. It's just a big garden from what I could see. No shops, clubs and you can pretty much guarantee there isn't going to be a decent pub.

That said Elysium is a proper film that makes every punch count (of which there are many) and it's a snappy, spunky ride.

An 8 out of (and not as good as) District 9.
