Ben & Rob strap on an exo-suit and set sail for ‘Elysium’, Neill Blomkamp’s 2013 sophomore cinematic symphony of love, death and robots. Set in a dystopian future where the poor live on a polluted and scorched Earth while the ultra-rich live off-world on space station Elysium, he tries to cover themes of global inequality, immigration and healthcare whilst providing the guttural action and scifi splendour that have become his calling card. But despite having an all-star cast in Matt Damon, Jodie Foster and Sharlto Copley, has Blomkamp bitten off more than he can chew with the broad themes? Why do Ben & Rob have such wildly different takes on this entry into his filmography? And what do the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have to do with any of this?
