What would a fat Matt Damon look like?
(Well, maybe "fat" is a bit strong, but "pudgy" isn't.)
Nevertheless, the answer is, "Not that much different," gals. And guys, don't worry. He's still has that Boston "Southie" fighting attitude.
Enough of that, though.... "Elysium" is not a fracking movie. (You at least have to have caught Ol' Matt's recent appearances on the talk shows to get this, I guess. Myself, I had to Google "Matt Damon" and "fracking" to understand the references.)
And I won't describe it as a friend of mine does, "...It's about Obamacare with guns." Ol' Matt plays an ex-con trying to go straight in a world about 140 years from now. The "Haves" have fled the polluted rock we've turned Mother Earth into for a giant space station. They're cured of all ills, and the "Have Nots" (the rest of us) are left behind to wallow and die in the filth and poison.
It's not what I call a true guys' movie. Granted, the plot's good; it has good fight scenes; and some pretty cool weapons/gunplay action — and the bad guy (Jodi Foster) and her henchmen are sufficiently nasty/gross, and eviler than normal. The special effects are cool, but they're not really "kooo-ewl!" And while adequate, the explosions and crashes don't make you go, "WHOAAA!"
Moms, there're some blood and guts younger kids maybe shouldn't see, but the language is tame by today's standards.
I guess I liked it, but overall, but "Elysium" doesn't have nearly enough kapow! (no sex, for example) to be a good guy's flick. I mean, you can take The Wife to it! I gotta give it 2 knuckle sandwiches and 2 writer's cramps (for a pretty good plot).
