Did you think that the characters in Elysium had any depth at all and weren't just cookie cutter characters, most of whom were one dimensional?
Yes, movies don't have time to always add depth to all characters but there was no depth and almost no real internal conflict to any of the main characters this film. The Haves were greedy... just because. They didn't share their health pods... just because. Matt Damon's choice at the end of the film was to Save the World and Die or Get Arrested and Die. Even when he turns down saving the girl, it isn't a real character moment. It's just not feasible for him, currently on the run and hunted, to smuggle a dying girl with him.

And has anyone said the dialogue in his movie was quality? That a dying Fichtner saying, "You don't know what you've gotten yourself into" wasn't laughable on the nose and cliche?
