Good Movies Should Be Fun and This is Fun

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2015)

A fun adventure movie designed around time repeating itself until Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt finally save the world. Another one of those enjoyable action packed flicks where Cruise shines best. I know he has done everything under the sun, but he is the ideal action hero. I understand that is a mighty strong label, especially with all that competition out there. I also know I am probably wrong (and so are those who disagree with me.) Let's see, in the past I knew he was good, but never had an interest in seeing what he was doing next or searching out his latest release. In other words, he was just another talented actor who churned out the good with the bad. Lately, I have noticed, he is turning out some quality stuff. OK – OK 'Oblivion' was forgettable and 'Eyes Wide Shut' was not one of my favoritesI got ithe can do stinkers, but they are rare. Unlike other mega-action hero stars, I think he has learned his lesson; meaning he will likely avoid the quick buck and wait for the cash-cow. This movie is all that should be expected from a science fiction action flickaction – with little to no reflection. Don't preach – just entertain – and I certainly do appreciate any movie that avoid the writers' pulpit. Thanks
