10 Worst Performances In Sci-Fi Movie History

10. Jodie Foster As Defense Secretary Jessica Delacourt - Elysium

Jodie Foster is by no means a bad actress. If you're ever in doubt, rewatch The Silence of the Lambs and you'll remember just what she's capable of.

But despite her two Academy Awards for Best Actress, Jodie Foster certainly isn't perfect.

There are a handful of questionable performances in her back catalogue, but none are as blatant as her role as Delacourt in 2013's Elysium.

Foster's character, Elysium's Defense Secretary, speaks with an accent so bizarre that it's hard to actually take note of what she's saying. If you haven't heard it, it sounds like an amalgamation of Danish and Australian accents, all while strutting around a space station with the most exaggerated swagger imaginable. The worst part is, the accent slips at several points throughout the movie, meaning that it's not even consistent in how terrible it is.

While Foster's performance might not have been the worst on this list, it's certainly noteworthy due to her remarkable ability having apparently disappeared.
