Why?

Rating: 5/10 (23 March 2015)

So lets tackle the elephant in the room, here we have aliens who can turn back time on Earth, so if they do that on Earth they must do the same for every planet in our solar system and the sun, also everything in our galaxy and universe. These creatures were called gods in biblical times, so these masters of space and time have angry steel wool balls as foot soldiers? What I enjoyed in the movie, the landing on the beach which showed the chaos and carnage with a nod to several D-day movies, good action scenes, good special effects. What did I not enjoy, Tom Cruise who I always think beneath his bonhomie exterior has some thing icy at his core seems pretty bored by it all, I appreciate he has to give the appearance of tedium as each day is repeated but he displays all his emotional acting skills from A to B. I have rarely observed such a lack of chemistry between the leading man and woman as displayed in this movie. I enjoy science fiction but I like it a bit more believable if that is not an oxymoron, this movie is simply so unbelievable it struggles to keep attention between set piece action scenes, not a horrendous movie but not that good.
