Elysium

En el año 2159 existen dos clases de personas, los ricos que viven en una estación espacial llamada Elysium, y el resto, que viven en un superpoblada y en ruinas Tierra. La secretaria Rhodes, una dura gobernante oficial, no parará ante nada para reforzar la ley anti-migración y preservar así el lujoso estilo de vida de los ciudadanos de Elysium. Pero eso no detendrá a las personas de la Tierra de intentar entrar, por cualquier medio posible. Max acepta una misión casi utópica, pero que, si tuviera éxito, significaría la conquista de la igualdad entre las personas de esos dos mundos tan opuestos.

Cast completo de Elysium

Matt Damon delivers a compelling performance as Max Da Costa in 'Elysium,' portraying a determined and resourceful protagonist fighting against societal inequality. Unlike his roles in films such as 'The Bourne Identity,' where he plays a highly trained operative, in 'Elysium' Damon embodies an everyday man thrust into extraordinary circumstances, blending vulnerability with resilience. A trivia fact about Damon in this film is that he underwent extensive physical training to convincingly depict a character who is both injured and enhanced by futuristic technology.

In 'Elysium,' Alice Braga delivers a compelling performance as Frey, a dedicated and resilient nurse navigating the stark divides between the impoverished Earth and the opulent space station Elysium. Her portrayal brings depth and humanity to the film's social commentary, contrasting sharply with her roles in other genres, such as her intense and gritty performance in 'City of God' or the action-driven 'I Am Legend.' A trivia fact about Braga: she is the cousin of actress Sônia Braga, known for her own distinctive career in Brazilian and international cinema.
