I think the fact that this film is so strange makes up for the fact that it sucks so bad. The casting of Matt Damon hurt the film the most for me. The last thing I want to see was Jason Bourne in space. I'll admit that I enjoyed the visuals greatly, especially the video-game like tracking shots, something I've never seen before. The over-simplistic story, bad casting, and Jodi Foster's strange accent made this an oddly entertaining terrible movie. Let's hope Blomkamp's next film goes back to using unknown actors and more realistic premises... like aliens living in Johannesburg.
