Movies like Elysium

Children of Men is a dystopian thriller set in a world where humans have become infertile. The film's dark vision of the future, combined with its intense action set pieces and deep sociopolitical undertones, draws a parallel to the atmosphere and narrative found in Elysium.

Oblivion presents a post-apocalyptic Earth where the remnants of humanity live in the clouds, evoking the same class division seen in Elysium. The film's protagonist, played by Tom Cruise, embarks on a journey that challenges his beliefs about the world, much like Matt Damon's character in Elysium.

In Time presents a future society where time is the ultimate currency, and the rich can live forever, whereas the poor struggle to survive each day. The film's critique of wealth inequality and its exciting action sequences make it a thought-provoking companion for audiences who enjoyed Elysium.

Directed by the same filmmaker, Neill Blomkamp, District 9 offers a gritty and politically charged science fiction narrative. The movie delves into themes of apartheid and segregation through the lens of extraterrestrial refugees in South Africa. Fans of Elysium's social commentary and sci-fi action will find District 9's approach familiar and engaging.

The Island, starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson, centers around the lives of inhabitants of a utopian facility who discover that their existence is not what it seems. The movie explores the ethics of cloning and the divide between the engineered 'elite' and the rest of humanity, mirroring the class struggle depicted in Elysium.

The 2012 remake of Total Recall, like Elysium, is set in a dystopian future where the protagonist's quest to reclaim his identity thrusts him into a wider conflict about societal division and the distribution of power. The film provides a blend of action and a mind-bending plot that echoes the thematics of Elysium.
