This movie barcode compresses all 109 minutes of Elysium into a single image: every shot is averaged to one colour and laid down as a vertical stripe, left to right, opening frame to end credits. Directed by Neill Blomkamp in 2013 and framed at 1.85:1, the sci-fi palette shows up as bands of colour you can read at a glance.
