* CreatorDrivenSuccessor: While not sharing any plot, this film shares a lot with Creator/NeillBlomkamp's previous film ''Film/District9''. It's about a racial population confined to slums and exploited by a wealthier class with Apartheid undertones. Eventually violence erupts and the hero must fight alongside the downtrodden people against evil mercenaries hired by the wealthy class using sci-fi guns and power armor.

* NamesTheSame:
** Better hope that Frey is not connected to ''[[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire those]]'' [[Series/GameOfThrones Freys]].
** A story about a highly advanced, elitist utopia orbiting above a CrapsackWorld where the lower classes dream of getting past their cybernetic oppressors and escaping to the world above - which is even called 'Elysium'? [[spoiler:And TheHeroDies {{Heroic|Sacrifice}}ally for the sake of everyone else, after a lifetime of selfishness?]] Had ''nobody'' involved with the production of this movie heard of ''VideoGame/{{Deponia}}''?
** The film ''{{Film/Pandorum}}'' also featured a ship called the Elysium taking people away from Earth to a better future.
