* While the audience obviously empathise with the refugees on the first attempt at landing in Elysium, and mourn the loss of life when Delacourt ordered the launch of missiles, her defence ''of'' her defence is a calm, cool and collected rebuttal. When the Elysium politicians try to pretend to object to her actions, she points out that it was exactly what they hired her to do, that if they ''object'' to how she performs her duties, they should fire her. She even points out that, while she has no desire for children, she is well aware that she was hired mostly out of fear for the well being of the children aboard Elysium. They, quite simply, have no response.

* While the first attempt by refugee ships to make it to Elysium mainly serves as a KickTheDog moment for Delacourt and Kruger, it's also impressive watching one pilot get past the missiles and land on Elysium. Likewise, seeing one woman use Elysium's medical breakthroughs to heal her disabled daughter before being caught is a powerful moment.

** Drake fires his rifle and pistol at Max before running out of bullets, and then Max unleashes the [[RailGun ChemRail]] gun. Cue MoreDakka.

** Max breaking lose from his restraints on Elysium. And beating up the security officers that were watching him.
*** To go into details, Max rips his arm off its restraints, and grabbed the first security officer by the neck. He then use his momentum to propel himself and the two security officers onto the floor, before kicking the other one ''in the face'' with his leg. Then he frees himself and pulls out the mouthpiece with ''long interface'' wires inside it, and proceeded to kick the security guard he choked in the stomach, before grabbing him by the neck and asking where Frey and her daughter is. After that, he simply grabs the officer's security keycard and hobbles off, injuries notwithstanding.

First, they bring down Carlyle's fancy FlyingCar with a remote-detonated bomb, which leads to a shoot-out with his security droids (complete with a glorious slow-motion shot of one of them being ''blasted to scraps by exploding bullets''), and Max ''ripping another one's head clean off with sheer brute strength and his exo-suit''. If not for Kruger showing up, things may have gone off without a hitch...

** Kruger's whole fighting style in the fight. He shows up, doesn't use a gun, and ditches the mines after he lands. He busts out knives and a katana. At one point he essentially dual wields a force field and a katana. In a high tech world where the former is available, being able to use such old fashioned technology and survive, and also combine it with the latest tech, is impressive.
