Fun quickly forgotten sci-fi flick with cool gadgets.....

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2004)

Thought the movie was fun, certainly nothing you'll remember but entertaining enough for it's running time. Cruise does his usual 'MR.SERIOUS' routine and it was fun seeing newbie Collin Farrell give Cruise the 'I CAN BE SERIOUS TOO' routine right back in his face. You could just tell Farrell was having fun breaking Cruise's balls...At least I hope he was....It's always a pleasure to see Max Von Sydow, a consumate professional. Samantha Morton was good in her role as the 'pre-cog'. I haven't read the source material this movie was based on so as far as that goes I have no idea how faithful it was, not that I really care. Whether the movie is good or bad has nothing to do with it's source material. If the movie's good, then it's good. As I said, this is fun escapist, easily forgotten fluff. Perfect summer stuff to get out of the heat of the day and to enjoy a fun ride.
