5 Movie Endings From 2013 With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed

3. "Health Care For Everyone" Presumably Doomed The Entire Planet - Elysium

In the not too distant future, the rich have relocated from the hell hole that is Earth to a floating ring in the sky dubbed "Elysium" - here they enjoy immortality (they have machines that wipe away diseases) and presumably the best pool parties that a giant space station run by a diabolical Jodie Foster can conjure up. Matt Damon, a lowly factor worker on Earth, is accidently exposed to radiation, however, and sets out on a suicide mission to get his hands on that precious healing technology before he dies, equipped with a custom badass suit that enhances his strength. The movie ends with Damon's character dying, but he manages to overwrite the system in place on Elysium that then registers the entire population of Earth as its inhabitants, therefore making them applicable for the station's healing technologies. The credits roll at this point, leaving one notion annoyingly untouched: are the rich folk up on Elysium, who've been used to living the lives of the elite, going to just accept that this is happening? That their homes and livelihood are to be taken away from them? Presumably not: which means that, whilst "Written and Directed by Neill Blomkamp" is appearing on screen, some sort of violent revolt is going on in the background. And I haven't even mentioned the fact that the situation on Earth isn't going to be very good either: with health care suddenly available to literally everyone on the planet, do you expect them to suddenly form an orderly queue and wait their turn to be cured? There are 11 billion people on Earth at this point, many of whom would probably do anything to get their hands on a bit of curing. Once word gets out that it's possible to be cured of any ailment, it's going to be a free-for-all. People will go totally nuts trying to get themselves a turn. Bad move, Matt Damon!
