- This would also mean that those little transport ships would have to travel a little more than 7,400 miles per hour. Even if they could do it they would have to accelerate at over 82 miles per second per second (about 3.74 g's) until they got half-way there and then decelerate at -82 miles per second per second to land. While the rebels could handle it the passengers couldn't. Yes of course this is just a sci-fi movie but I guess I was expecting 2001 a space odyssey.

- Elysium has an atmosphere yet nothing to contain it. This shown not once but twice as space ships "crash land" onto its "surface". Without a seal for its "sky" the atmosphere would escape.

- Elysium is always show "flat" or just about parallel to the earth. As the residents live on the inside-edge of a spinning wheel, sunlight would be coming in front the far edge of the wheel but instead it is always "overhead". The sun also never appears to change directions despite the spin of the wheel.

- Though not in the movie it is established that the residents of Elysium have "Med Pods" to cure all disease in every home (Because of increased exposure to radiation from space maybe?). If they are cheap enough to have in homes why aren't they on earth? They are cheap enough to make after all and even if they weren't it would still be much cheaper to pay to use it on earth than to fly to space to use it.

- "Re-Boot Elysium?" "To make all earthlings civilians"? "So everyone can be cured?" And the "code" is in someone's brain? That can be copied? That kills the host after it is copied? And that eventually just looks like random characters? Oh and they dress-up like Robots too. STUPID!

Elysium is a nice-looking movie for sure but check your brain at the door if you want to enjoy it.
