Great CGI, good actors, terrible story.

Rating: 4/10 (5 February 2017)

This post-apocalyptic science fiction movie tackles the story of a man who has been posted in the uninhabited Earth to repair the machines that exploit Earth's resources, after the planet is destroyed in a galactic war between humans and aliens. The script seems interesting at first glance, but we soon lost interest in the film because the story does not have much else to explore. Tom Cruise plays the main character and does it in a very correct way, but his character is overwhelmingly boring and the story is very monotonous. Morgan Freeman is another actor who excels in this film, leading a good cast that has received a bad material to work because of the poor script, with good ideas but poorly developed. The big bet of this movie is CGI, with great plans of our planet destroyed, especially New York. Visually, the movie is great, with optimal cinematography and superior quality sound effects. But that is not enough to make a good movie, not even when Tom Cruise is added to the recipe.
