Science fiction blockbuster Elysium, starring Matt Damon, just released an impressive trailer, over 3 minutes long! Most films release 2 minute trailers, but this trailer gives viewers an idea of what is really going on in the movie, which it seems they will need for this fast-paced, intense, action-packed film.
The extended trailer is available on Yahoo! Movies. Elysium is set in 2159 and social classes as we know today are no longer recognizable. AceShowBiz reports that in this sci-fi film, the wealthy and privileged live in a utopian space station called Elysium, where there is no poverty, disease, or violence. Meanwhile, the poor live on Earth in devastating conditions and are desperate to escape to the luxurious Elysium. They need the medical care offered there, without which they will die. This goes for Damon’s Character, Matt, a blue-collar worker named Max who has just days left before succumbing to cancer. He must fight to earn a place for the poor on Elysium and defeat the selfish affluent citizens of the space station. Will he have enough time, resources, and/or the strength to do so?
The movie is set to hit theaters on August 9th, so be sure to watch the extended trailer before then! The action-packed trailer is enough to hook us and hopefully set Elysium up for some record-breaking at the box office. If you like what you see, hit the theaters on August 9th!
