Elysium
"Elysium" is director Neill Blomkamp's follow-up to his innovative sci-fi morality tale "District 9" and, not surprisingly, he here covers some of the same ground -- the exploitation of "outsiders" by the priviledged elite. But instead of the outsiders being aliens, here they're the entire population of the Earth, who toil on an overpopulated, ruined planet in the year 2154 for the benefit of the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium. Crime, poverty and diseease are the order of the day on Earth; above, on Elysium, it's all sweetness and light and state-of-the-art medical care that can cure any disease or bodily injury. When factory worker Max (Matt Damon) is exposed to a fatal dose of radiation, his only chance for survival is to illegally travel to Elysium for medical treatments, and to do so he has to reluctantly take on a dangerous mission -- one that pits him against Elysium's nasty, dictator-in-the-making Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces. "Elysium" outstripse "District 9" with its onslaught of spectacular special effects and brutal, bloody violence, but falls short in its story line -- a pretty traditional "us vs. them" scenario -- and its weak characterizations. Still, it's a pure fun ouitng that gets it's intelligent message about "illegal immigration" across with zest.
Extras: "Collaboration: Crafting the Performances in Elysium" behind-the-scenes cast featurette; "Engineering Utopia: Creating a Society in the Sky" featurette on designing and creating the utopian space station. Blu-ray adds an extended scene; "Visions of 2154," an interactive exploration of the art and design of Elysium; "The Journey to Elysium," a three-part documentary with "Envisioning Elysium," a pre-production diary, "Capturing Elysium" location featurette, and "Enhancing Elysium," a post-production diary that explores the editing process; "In Support of Story: The Visual Effects of Elysium," an in-depth look at the process of shooting visual effects scenes and incorporating CGI environments and vehicles into those scenes in post-production; "The Technology of 2154," a featurette that offers insights into the film's depiction of the technology of Elysium, from independently functioning Droids to next-generation military tech that gives humans machine-enhanced power.
Vitals: Director: Neill Blomkamp. Stars: Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, William Fichtner, Michael Shanks, Alice Braga, Talisa Soto, Diego Luna, Carly Pope.
2013, CC, MPAA rating: R, 109 min., Science Fiction Action, Box office gross: $90.790 million, Sony.
The Lone Ranger
Director Gore Verbinski and actor Johnny Depp's deconstruction of the "legend" of "The Lone Ranger" came in for some heavy bashing by a majority of film critics who all seemed to jump on the bandwagon after initial reports circulated about problems with the film. Well, the film isn't all as bad as the critics -- many of whom seem to have it in for Verbinski and Depp -- would have you believe. In this two-and-a-half-hour opus, the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes, that of Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Depp), who recounts the untold tale that transformed idealistic lawyer John Reid (Armie Hammer) into a legend of justice. The story line: Shortly after the Civil War, Reid rides with his Texas Ranger brother to apprehend notorious bandit Bruce Cavendish (a very, very nasty William Fichtner) and his gang. The Rangers are ambushed and the only survivor, Reid, is rescued by the renegade Comanche, Tonto (Depp), and brought back to life as the masked man. The pair pursue Cavendish and get involved in other adventures, including a Comanche uprising, fights with the U.S. cavalry, a blown-up silver mine, and an attempted takeover of the transcontinental railroad. The film abounds with equal amounts of odd-couple comedy, explosive special effects action and Western shoot-em ups. All the irreverence, cockiness and cheekiness that made "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" such a pleasant surprise are here, though with more wild shifts in tone. As many other critics have pointed out, the film is too long, with extraneous, almost silly comedic bits (overdoing the conceit of Reid as a bumbler and Tonto as a wild-eyed, crazy mystic) that could easily have been cut. Nevertheless, the film is exciting, darkly funny and full of ideas as it surveys mid-19th century Manifest Destiny, genocide, greed, and the myth of the Wild West. And when the William Tell Overture kicks in during the final sequence, it'll bring tears of joy to your face. It's well-worth watching -- just stock up on the popcorn. Co-stars Helena Bonham Carter (as a madam with a shooting ivory leg), Tom Wilkinson (as a corrupt business tycoon) and Ruth Wilson (as the Lone Ranger's love interest). Extras: Blooper reel; deleted scene; "Riding the Rails of The Lone Ranger" behind-the-scenes featurette on the train sequences; "Armies's Western Road Trip" location tour; "Becoming a Cowboy" featurette that follows the cowboy (and cowgirl) cast to boot camp, where they got a chance to experience what their characters would really be living like in the Wild West.
Vitals: Director: Gore Verbinski. Stars: Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Wilkinson, Ruth Wilson, William Fichtner.
2013, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 149 min., Western Action, Box office gross: $88.559, million, Warner.
Kick-Ass 2
Though "Kick-Ass 2" falls short as a worthy sequel to the 2010 original film that pitted costumed high-school heroes against criminals and all-around bad guys, it still stands up as a fun thrill ride laced with outrageously gory violence and ironic humor. Self-made superhero Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and sweet-faced, foul-mouthed Hit Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) try to return to life as "normal" teenagers, but soon find themselves back on the street fighting crime -- this time joined by a new wave of masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), and a new crime boss, Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), who has re-invented himself as The Mother F%&*^r and who has assembled an evil league of super-villains (including a gigantic Amazon called Mother Russia). The nice thing about the Kick Ass series -- it just doesn't take itself as seriously as the other movies derived from comic book characters. Rated R for much-too-filthy language and bloody body parts.
Extras: Extended scenes; "Upping the Game" featurette; "Going Ballistic: Weapons & Stunts" featurette; "Creating a Badass World" featurette; commentary with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chloe Grace Moretz and writer-director Jeff Wadlow.

2013, CC, MPAA rating: R, 103 min., Action Comedy, Box office gross: $28.751 million, Universal.
Prisoners
A revenge thriller that has pretensions to be more than it is -- a pulp police procedural that borrows from "Silence of the Lambs" and "Taken" but without those films' attention to solid plotting and characterization. Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) plays a survivalist-type working man in rural Pennsylvania whose daughter is kidnapped; when the local police, headed up by out-of-his-league Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) dismisses the only suspect, a weird young man (Paul Dano) driving a dilapidated RV near the scene of the abduction, for lack of evidence, Keller takes the law into his own hands -- with dire consequences (and a double twist of an ending).
Extras: Two featurettes: "Prisoners -- Every Moment Matters," "Prisoners -- Powerful Performances."
Vitals: Director: Dennis Villeneuve. Stars: Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, Melissa Leo, Paul Dano.
2013, CC, MPAA rating: R, 153 min., Thriller, Box office gross: $59.127 million, Warner.

Their mission: to bring home the fabled Golden Fleece and save their dying safe haven, Camp Half-Blood. Based on the teen fiction book series by Rick Riordan.
Extras: "Back to Camp Half-Blood" featurette, "It's All in the Eye" featurette. Blu-ray adds Motion comic, collectible character cards, "Deconstructing a Demigod" featurette.
