A modern cinema thriller

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2015)

Whilst the movie is visually appealing, and a moderate thriller, it does little else.
Included are an inherent contempt for the Russians. It was their folly that provides the basis for the movie. Certainly the Americans would have never been so negligent.
There are inherent Christian motifs in the film. Including the term God, praying, soul, an belief in heaven, and holy intervention, or the holy spirit. Clearly some Catholic funding in Hollywood...ever.
This movie is clearly a modern blockbuster meant more to induce culture than to stimulate thought, contribute to theatrics and directing. It provides a people who are technically adept, yet afraid to die. Aren't we all? Perhaps, with movies like this one.
The movie rightfully ended at 90 min. It had little justification to continue on. While I have been known to adore thrillers, dramas, and Sci-Fi's this is not one of them.
I would recommend it for a boring afternoon, not much else.
