I give three and a half stars. Much better than "Elysium", the story is not so empty. Science fiction fans may calculate the logic and details of some settings, and ordinary audiences can see it completely. The front is a little loose and sensational, and the last part is great, both enjoyable and innovative! A bit of Quentin's taste, it can be called the gangster version of "Artificial Intelligence". Blomkamp is going to create the rhythm of the "Johannesburg Trilogy"!
