Excellent example of Sci-Fi at its best

Rating: 9/10 (14 April 2013)

I don't usually feel the need to write about movies, but this one I think deserves my support.
First of all, let me say that I am not a Tom Cruise fan; the mere fact that he is in a film is sometimes enough to put me off. But I had heard so little of this film – seriously, it seemed to have snuck into the theatres – that I decided I would give it a go. So I went to a Saturday afternoon session, on my own. And I wasn't disappointed.
This was Sci-Fi at its best:, sometimes as awesome as the Matrix with regard to the VFX, but often very understated like Gattaca. The themes were really interesting and the characters were also well developed. The pace was also perfect, with a good combination of suspense, drama sometimes it was even scary.
Without going on and on (I don't want to give too much away), I definitely think this is worth seeing at the cinema. Visually it is amazing. The bigger the screen, the better, in my opinion. Also has a great score.
People who say they didn't "get" it obviously don't understand Sci-Fi.
