Better than I expected

Rating: 7/10 (2 January 2016)

The themes in the movie are actually quite common.Alien invasion,memory loss and regain,clone and so on have been told countless times.But there are some details I find refreshing.
First,no ridiculous looking alien creatures with five eyes and three feet. Although not seeing the invading alien's true face does not add much mysteriousness,at least it's different.
I'm a sucker for British literature, I'm also deeply interested in Roman history. So the quotation of a Victorian poem about an ancient Roman hero certainly makes me like the movie more.
Andrea Riseborough overshadows Olga Kurylenko with her brilliant performance. Andrea even impresses me more than Tom Cruise does.Tom is a great actor who's passionate about his work.But movie after movie after movie he plays the hero who saves the world,just like Morgan Freeman who's always the wise old man.(Though to be fair, we really love world-saving heroes and wise old men.)
And again,Andrea Riseborough's subtle performance is a highlight.
