Awesome.

This is an amazing ride of a movie, and an incredible accomplishment for the director, JJ Abrams.
It completely winds me up, and that's saying something. Abram's is an astonishing film maker, Cruise is a serious action guy, and this is some crazy trip. It doesn't hurt that Cruise comes across as someone I might actually know for a change, too. And no matter how crazy-ass the action or conflict is, I believe it. That's pretty rare for this kind of movie.
The best of all, though, is that every moment I'm either freaked, or stressed, or so relieved. Thoughnot ever in that order. It's not easy for a movie to work me up these days.
