- Visions of 2154 (HD): From the disc: "Explore conceptual art, 3D models and visual effects progressions which provided inspiration for the year 2154." In essence, this is a user-controlled slideshow supplement that offers art, behind-the-scenes video, clips from the film, and more.
- Extended Scene: Kruger Wakes Up (HD, 1:45): A longer version of a key scene from the film.
- The Journey to Elysium (HD): This three-part documentary begins with Envisioning 'Elysium' (8:46), a piece that takes a look at the story and its origins. It moves on to examine script development, designing the world with the exactness Neill Blomkamp demands, digitally and practically building the world, shooting locales, and fitting the actors with exoskeletons. Capturing 'Elysium' (26:31) details the shooting process. It takes audiences onto several sets and peeks behind-the-scenes throughout the shoot. It also studies the differing looks for the Earth and Elysium locations, makeup, and the making of several scenes in a handful of cities in some detail. Finally, Enhancing 'Elysium' (10:31) focuses on the post-production process, including editing, sound design, and scoring.

- In Support of Story: The Visual Effects of Elysium (HD, 10:34): As the title suggests, the piece looks at effects construction but also the way they enhance the film. The piece focuses on the "Raven" and other flying vehicles, the robots, and a scene depicting the repair of damaged flesh.
- Engineering Utopia: A Society in the Sky (HD, 11:43): A look at Syd Mead's contributions to the film's design and creating a believable and functional Elysium.
