Audio problem: Throughout the film, Jodie Foster's dialogue does not sync up with the movements of her mouth, indicating most if not all of her lines were re-dubbed after filming.
Elysium (2013)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Neill Blomkamp
Starring: Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley
Max (Matt Damon) blows up Kruger (Sharlto Copley) with a grenade. Spider tries to use the codes in Max's brain to override Elysium's system, but he can't do so without killing Max. Max tells him to do it anyway and Spider reprograms the mainframe to accept all of Earth's population as citizens of Elysium. Elysium sends medical ships down to the planet to heal the wounded. Max dies.

Question: With all of his access to Elysium, why wouldn't Spider have cured his crippled leg?

Answer: Only citizens of Elysium can use the machines that cure them so it wouldn't work for him anyway. He just waits for the moment they can go and become citizens.
