In 2154, Earth is experiencing ecocide, it is overpopulated, diseased, and polluted. It grossed $286 million and was released on DVD and Blu-ray on December 17, 2013. It received positive reviews, but critics considered it to be disappointing after Blomkamp's first film, District 9. The film was released on August 9, 2013, by Sony Pictures Releasing through the TriStar Pictures label, in both conventional and IMAX Digital theaters.

The film itself offers deliberate social commentary that explores political and sociological themes such as immigration, overpopulation, transhumanism, health care, worker exploitation, the justice system, technology, and social class issues. The film takes place on both a ravaged Earth and a luxurious artificial world ( Stanford torus design) called Elysium. The film stars Matt Damon and Jodie Foster alongside Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga, Diego Luna, Wagner Moura, and William Fichtner. It was Blomkamp's second directorial effort.

Elysium is a 2013 American dystopian science fiction action film written, produced, and directed by Neill Blomkamp.
