Elysium

This is a recently released movie directed and written by Neill Blomkamp. It shows a very realistic hypothetic future in which the Earth gets completely damaged by overpopulation and contamination so the richest people create a utopic society inside a space station, while the rest of humanity remains on Earth, where everyone is poor and sick.

I think this movie warns people about how the planet could end if we keep having a society  with extreme inequality and completely polarized conditions. The movie also has very good action scenes and special effects which makes it  interesting and entertaining. But one thing I didn’t like about Elysium is that the story goes on too fast, so people can’t understand it as much as they would like to. Anyways, I invite you to watch it and make up your own opinion.

R.I.P.D.

R.I.P.D is a recently released movie directed by Robert Schwentke. It talks about the story of a recently murdered police officer. After he dies, he joins the R.I.P.D, a police department that fights against the “undead” people. During the movie this man tries to find the man who killed him and why he did it. This movie is kind of similar to the Men In Black movies, because both talk about a police department that no one knows it exists, which fights against monsters and creatures that disguise themselves as normal people.

I recommend it because it’s a really interesting and funny to watch, but at the same time it doesn’t have a very common topic, which is very interesting. Watch it and make your own opinions.

White House Down

White House Down is a newly released action movie directed by Ronald Emmerich. It is about a terrorist attack to the White House. Different from most of action movies, where the script only focused in having good action scenes, this movie has a great script that focuses on making a good story that matches with the rest of the movie. I think this it one of the best made movies out there.

It also has a lot of politics involved; it shows how people and even politicians are against peace treaties and what they are capable to do to stop it. It also shows the defensive but dangerous decisions the government could make only to save their country.

I recommend you to watch this movie in any movie theater and make your own opinion about it.
