Fast and entertaining.

Rating: 9/10 (10 June 2014)

Watching this movie was a great relief after going through the monstrosity of "Godzilla". I generally like Tom Cruise movies , so maybe I was tuned to like this one too. It also helps that I also am a big science fiction ( particularly alien types) fan, but then I hated Prometheus(one of the worst I have ever seen), Battleship (2012) and Elysium ( a great let down). I am mentioning this so that you can get some idea of my taste of movies. Regarding this movie, it is fast , well shot and entertaining. If someone is looking for logic and science then it fails on multiple accounts , but if you want entertainment then it is sure worth a watch. The film lacks in originality but makes for it in its pace and action sequences. The combat suit is something that we have seen often, the idea of time loop is not new ( it's very much like in 'The source Code') and the concept of aliens being connected and powered from a central source is prosaic, yet the movie didn't bore me and that is all I expect from one. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to evaluate science fiction movies scientifically. Also, if you are a Tom cruise fan you wouldn't like to miss this one. Watch it for its entertainment value.
