Elysium (2013) ☆☆☆(3/4) : A big space wheel he desperately wants to go
When I was young and innocent, I read lots of science books with unadulterated enthusiasm, and some of them were about how our human civilization would look different through advanced technologies. The futuristic world shown through those books looked pretty … Continue reading
