She was off. True.
But was it intentional ? probably.
maybe that's how Jodie or the director wanted to portray the movie, to differentiate the normal Earth beings from the eternal living Elysium ones. which makes sense how no one on Elysium shows compassion or any emotion (apart from fear) for the earthlings. ergo the very robotic performance.

I didn't think anyone was that good in this film. I'm inclined to blame the director. He's supposed to set the tone and rhythm of the film and everything felt pitched a bit too fast and over excited. Also, I wonder how much was chopped out in the editing - there are some well known faces in the cast list but I don't remember seeing any of them.

I think she was trying to sound English but it was so, so shoddy. Hard R's all over the place and sometimes it was like she forgot her lines (altho that particular bit should be blamed on the director for not doing more takes)

It was all about the accents. I too thought Foster was trying to affect an upper-class English accent but made a real horror show of it. The South African accent was far too strong - I couldn't make head-nor-tail of most of it. To be honest, I initially thought he was trying to be Australian, is was so garbled.
it's just another dumb film, get over it. -

Who are you calling droog?
And how do you know she was attempting a transatlantic accent? That one should be easier than an English accent even!

Jodie Foster was playing a french speaking woman, who speaks english, so her accent was deliberately weird and "bad". Kruger (Sharlto Copley) is from Johannesburg so his South African accent was natural.
