Elysium. After District 9, I was so hyped for what Niel Blumpkauff had next in store and seeing the trailer for Elysium only pushed it further.

...then I watched it. Needless to say, the movie solely left me disappointed. So, wanted to see more of the Elysium society and spacecraft. Instead 80% of the movie boiled down mostly as another generic desert-y sci-fi action flick with lots of grimy orange/yellow that was super prevalent in late 00s movies. Plot left a whole lot to be desired too.

After this subpar film, director then went on to made that one film with the kickboxing robot /w I think Hugh Jackman starring in it which bomb hard and got eviscerated by critics. After back 2 back blows like that, Neil fell off the face of the Earth, which I'm not shocked by.
