Director Neil Blomkamp is probably most known for his work on District 9, the low-budget, high-awesome sci-fi flick about aliens and apartheid. With Elysium, Blomkamp looks to be returning to the sci-fi genre with the same kind of social commentary and emotional maturity with which he approached District 9. Whether Elysium turns out to be a fun watch will remain to be seen, but the trailer looks neat! Elysium will hit theaters August 9.
