Matt Damon's Sci-Fi Thriller Elysium Returns to Tubi: A Look Back at the Dystopian Future

Matt Damon has had a mixed track record in the sci-fi genre, with some hits like The Martian and Interstellar, and some misses like Titan A.E. and Downsizing. Now, his 2013 sci-fi thriller Elysium is making a comeback on Tubi starting July 1. The film is set in a dystopian future where Earth is overcrowded and polluted, and Damon plays Max Da Costa, a factory worker on a mission to reach a luxurious space station for a better life. Directed by Neill Blomkamp and also starring Jodie Foster, the movie didn't receive the same acclaim as Blomkamp's District 9, but Damon's performance as a relatable protagonist stood out. Despite mixed reviews, Elysium will be available for free streaming on Tubi next month, giving viewers a chance to revisit this divisive sci-fi thriller before Damon's next big role in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.
