Not what I expected

Rating: 6/10 (1 July 2014)

Good action, obviously great graphics. The concept of the aliens was good both aesthetically and in the plot. Emily Blunt was great, Tom Cruise was okay. Brendan Gleeson's role was almost negligible. Too much humour spread in the movie, and not what I was looking for from the movie. The story was a bit predictable and stale, didn't really draw me in or make me feel much compassion for the characters. Some scenes seemed strictly for humour, with no contribution at all to the plot. Other than the alien scenes, most of the action scenes were included in the trailers.
Glad I saw it in theatres for the visuals, but probably wouldn't recommend it and won't watch it again.
