South African writer and director Neill Blomkamp returned with another sci-fi for his second feature. In the near future when Earth has become a wasteland and the wealthy live on a luxurious space station, a desperate man attempts the impossible that could threaten both worlds. Blomkamp shows another vision of the future that's striking and original that falls a little short given the huge expectations he set with his debut. Never-the-less the film has a lot going for itself despite its shortcomings given the scope of its ambitions. It's far from disaster and makes for an entertaining ride if nothing more. Matt Damon stars with another solid performance along with fine supporting cast that includes Jodie Foster, Alice Braga, Diego Luna, Wagner Moura and Blomkamp regular Sharlto Copley with another outstanding performance. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
