2054- You can get your eyeballs taken out for $1000

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2004)

No, I wouldn't consider myself a big fan of Tom Cruise. This movie, however, lured me in immediately after I saw ratings from newspapers, along with previews on TV. The idea of watching the movie was stuck in my head for quite a while. Then, I finally rented it and watched it.
It starts off exciting and leads the viewer right into the action (not surprising with Cruise). Almost immediately you learn about the future world and how cool it really is. There are upside down highways, plants that practically kill people, and those guys who can take out your eyes for $1000. Yes, that's right, $1000 dollars. You even get to see what it looks like, too.
I was impressed with Cruise's role and the way he took it on. The same goes for Max von Sydow, and Colin Farrell. Together, all three made this movie what its potential was and it showed.
What really saves this movie in the end, though, is the eye change. I was surprised when the movie was finished of how much I enjoyed it. It is truly one of Tom Cruise's classics and everybody who loves Sci-Fi movies should watch this. It is defiantly worth while.
