Watched a few minutes of Elysium last night then realized I needed sleep more than a shitty sci fi film.

The movie is supposed to be taking place in 2154 on an overpopulated and devastated earth in the slums of LA that are not much more than rubble, shanties and bad CGI ruined skyscrapers. In the midst of this dusty, dry, no-one apparently has enough water to wash their faces, rubble and trash strewn shithole, a couple of compadres are drinking beer from bright, clean, new bottles WITH PERFECT LABELS.

Where the fuck are the acres of barley, glass works, breweries with billions of gallons of water, fuel to make the bottles, ship them, refrigerate them, and brew the fucking beer?
And that was just the first of several "nails on the blackboard" moments in the first 20 minutes of the film.

Jeezum. Make a fucking effort.

I also watched "Now you see me" which required at least as much suspension of disbelief, but it was about magic, so... and it was pretty well written, and well acted. Lots of good plot twists. In fact, I'd even say there were lot's of good plot twist's.
