Oh-em-gee!
I just learned today that "Elysium" is already showing in Philippine theaters. It opens on September 4, 2013.
Goodness gracious! How come I haven't heard of this earlier this week? I've been waiting for this movie to be available in movie houses because I got quite intrigued with the story plot, futuristic approach, gadgets and the totality of this movie. Besides, it is starred by Matt Damon, the actor behind the character of Jason Bourne of Bourne Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum, and that somehow adds up to my eagerness to watch the movie. And if I'm not mistaken, this is directed by the same director of District 9. Phew! If you've watched District 9, you'll understand why I'm really looking forward to watch this movie.
I first watched the trailer of Elysium (pronounced as \i-ˈli-zhē-əm, -zē-\) at a movie house during which movie trailers were shown before the actual showing of the scheduled movie. I just don't remember whether it was at the time of Jack Reacher, Man of Steel, or World War Z. All I know is that the moment the trailer ended, I've already decided that I'm gonna watch it. Had I known that it has been in theaters since Wednesday, I would've put this in my calendar and watch it today. Too bad, it's not on my schedule. And I cannot watch it today because I still have lots on my plates today. Oh well, I still have next weekend. Can't wait!
Anyway, on the side, I made some research about the term "Elysium." Of course, I'm not gonna watch a movie if I don't understand what the title means. So I looked into Webster online and here's what I found:
So an Elysium simply means paradise or "heaven" so to speak. Now, that explains the "beauty of Elysium" for not having sickness, war, nor poverty as shown on the trailer. For those who haven't watched the trailer yet, here it is. Courtesy of Youtube again. Enjoy! :)
