3	* 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.
4	* The first attempt by refugee ships to make it to Elysium shows impressive flying by the one pilot who got past the missiles and landed on Elysium. Likewise, seeing one woman use Elysium's medical breakthroughs to heal her disabled daughter before being caught is a powerful moment.
5	* Max's CurbStompBattle with Kruger's goons, Crowe and Drake, in Elysium's armory.
6	** Especially the part Max lifted up Crowe. He caught and threw him onto the floor, causing the floor to ''cave in'' due to the impact. And then throwing Crowe across the room and into the wall. Drake fires his rifle and pistol at Max before running out of bullets, and then Max unleashes the [[RailGun ChemRail]] gun. Cue MoreDakka. The whole area Drake was in was immediately proliferated with enough holes to make it look like Swiss cheese. Drake died, by the way. If you pause the scene on how Drake died, you can see the rounds fired by the Chem Rail gun essentially shredded off his arms and legs with blood flying everywhere.
7	* Max and Kruger's entire FinalBattle on Elysium from start to finish. Definitely the highlight of the film.
8	** How does Max disable Kruger's exoskeleton? He hurls himself over Kruger and ''rips out Kruger's skull interface for the computer connection to his exoskeleton from his head'', hereby turning the tables on Kruger in one swift move.
9	** Special mention goes to Max who broke off Kruger's clip which was attached to his own exoskeleton, when Kruger triggered an explosive and tries to take Max with him, within mere seconds and throwing Kruger off the rail and down to his explosive death.
10	* The whole sequence of Max and Spider's Mooks going after Carlyle. 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...
11	** 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.
12	*** Julio at one point shoots Kruger in the neck. It's a graze and he shrugs it off, aside from being angry. And then he proceeds to kill Julio by ''impaling him to the ground with his sword.''.
13	** Max demanding a ride to Elysium, by grenade-point. What's even more impressive is Kruger ''agrees''.
14	** Max breaking lose from his restraints on Elysium. And beating up the security officers that were watching him. He 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.
15	** Max fighting against Kruger and his Mooks aboard their Dropship. Special mention goes to the part he kicks Kruger towards the armed grenade which blew the latter's face apart.
16	* Kruger and his men's takeover of Elysium and putting his new military exoskeleton are moment of villainous awesome.
17	* The ''whole sequence'' of Max and Kruger getting ready for their FinalBattle.
18	** Kruger can be seen putting on his military grade exoskeleton, before checking his katana and weaponry with approval from his fellow Mooks.
19	** Max, on the other hand, can be seen taking the last of his pills in one swallow before knocking his head against the elevator controls.
