"Chicago Sun Times": "Damon starred as an ordinary laborer, who was in a miserable and compassionate situation. Copley's cruel villain was also done very well, and you have only seen the role of Judy Foster. You know. All in all, you will see one of the most entertaining action movies this year."
"Empire": "It is not perfect, but it is more satisfying than other apocalyptic science fiction films such as "Legend of War" and "Return to Earth". It is more traditional than "The Ninth District", but it confirms Blom Camp is one of the most promising sci-fi film makers in this decade."
"Rolling Stone": "Like "District Nine," Blomkamp used the Oscar-class luxury cast to compose a fable about the apartheid policy without the sci-fi setting that weakened the film. "
"The New Yorker": "The film hits you with reality. In fact, the picture in the film does not exist in the future and the world of science fiction, because it already exists in life now."
The praise for "Elysium" is concentrated in the visual effects, indieWIRE said: "Since "Avatar", this is the best visual effect of the same theme film."
