Elysium, a futuristic movie set in the year 2154 where Earth has become polluted and overpopulated. Most of the population is still in the ghettos of Earth, but the higher class now lives on a space station called Elysium. Matt Damon, the main character has grown up watching Elysium from his ghetto rundown neighborhood. Throughout the movie his main goal is to get everyone on Earth the same rights as everyone on Elysium. Ben Kenisberg, the author of this review uses two different types of claims. He uses claims of fact throughout the whole review, explaining scenes with great detail and factual information. Other than that Kenisberg uses claims of view to show that he thinks the movie has nothing significantly different or better than other futuristic movies. He says "The movie won't get any points for originality or logic". Kenisberg wanted to see, or expected to see something different in this movie. He says how it was not as erratic as it could have been. The review for Elysium by Ben Kenisberg was not a bad one, but makes the audience feel like there should be more to the movie.
