Entertaining, compelling and enthralling sci-fi film

Rating: 8/10 (24 April 2013)

This is actually a really good sci-fi movie that isn't just full of sci-fi action but has a bit of humanity to it and goals when pushed into a corner while also including the human heart. I actually thoroughly enjoyed this movie from start to finish. It has a really good build up and well crafted and designed. The atmosphere, surroundings and design is really cool despite Jack's(Tom Cruise) costume looking very similar to the one Aki Ross wore in "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within". And when it comes to Tom Cruise he is exceptionally good in this and brings out the right amount of emotion and facial expressions. He is a great actor despite the publicity he has been getting. In fact in some areas I think he is better than DiCaprio. Morgan Freeman also makes some appearances and like always he is a great side character and his presence in this is charismatic while also having some wisdom behind it. The story is memorable with a good build up, right amount of action sequences and gives almost the right amount of information on what is going on. And leaves the rest up to the audiences imagination while not insulting the audiences intelligence. Even if some parts of this film didn't make all that much sense, it's still passable and didn't get all that irritating. In some degree it felt like the opposite of the "Tron" movies when it comes to the humans and machines. This is a entertaining, compelling and enthralling sci-fi film that is worth seeing on the big screen.
8.4/10
