A very good sci-fi film, nowhere near the awful example of AI.

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 2002)

You might go to the cinema thinking, `Oh noAI'. As you watch the opening sequences, you might think `Oh noloads of new sci-fi toys'. Then that's all behind you as you're taken into a very good story, where you don't really see the end. There are a few guessable points along the way, but for that there are also a few surprises to make you jump, and make you think. Since it's Dreamworks you can expect, and get, an intelligent story and some amazing effects. As always, the effects do not take over the story, and it's still very human and issue driven. Tom Cruise is not overly distracting, as I tend to find him, and he puts in a solid performance. A very good film, even if you notice the glaring continuity error and manage to put up with more product placements than.wellthan a Bond film!
