Elysium is a gripping scifi movie. There are some plot holes but what scifi movie doesn't have those? Damon as Max and Sharto Copley as Kruger are excellent. The plot isn't deep but the action never slows down. Is this America in 30 years, where the environment is trashed and the rich control health care? Those seem to be today's headlines every day. Yes it's fiction but a more possible fiction than many other scifi movies.
