Get Ready for Cruise Control!

Rating: 8/10 (14 April 2013)

I have always been a sucker for Tom Cruise's movies, and this is no exception.
Tom single-handedly carries this movie. Its difficult nowadays to find actors from his generation that still maintain box office draw. Tom is not just a survivor, but he's getting better. This is the man Hollywood can count on.
The cinematography is epic, because of that new camera they used. The CGI is superb. Tom, Olga and Andrea also easy on the eyes. Visually, this movie is very nice to look at. I love the beautiful locations (desert, waterfall, oasis, etc).
The story is almost original. There are some parts that remind me of other sci-fi flicks like The Matrix and Independence Day (you'll know which parts I refer to after watching this). Still, I was entertained and was kept on the edge of my seat.
There are some parts from the soundtrack that sound like Inception, or maybe that just me.
I don't care whether Tom jumps on Oprah's sofa again, but he is the undisputed king of the box office.
