Director of District 9 Neill Blomkamp dropped the teaser trailer for his next scifi epic on us yesterday, and it looks incredible. Now take a deeper plunge into the world of Elysium with these 80+ high-res screengrabs.

Elysium stars Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, and Sharlto Copley. It’s written and directed by Neill Blomkamp, and will arrive in theaters August 9th. Industry reports say that Blomkamp’s success with the excellent District 9 earned him a much larger budget this time, to the tune of some $100,000,000. Here’s Sony Pictures official synopsis:

In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the planet’s crime and poverty, and they critically need the state-of-the-art medical care available on Elysium — but some in Elysium will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve their citizens’ luxurious lifestyle. The only man with the chance to bring equality to these worlds is Max (Matt Damon), an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission — one that pits him against Elysium’s Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces – but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people on Earth as well.
