So excellent, it may be too deep for many

Rating: 9/10 (30 July 2013)

Being an author myself, I joyfully watched this movie several times to uncover the brilliant writing by Gajdusek.
Take for example a few statements that are simultaneously true and false in the movie context:
"I created you, I am your god," by the 'bad guy' alien in the final minutes, who is factually telling the truth, but that fact being unacceptable to the viewer and main character, Tom Cruise.
"I want to save Julia, I want her species to survive," by Tom Cruise who is again factually telling the truth, but that fact also turning out to be a lie.
The movie is littered with these easily overseen gems. Combine superb movie making with brilliant writing and you get movie that unfolds itself after multiple viewings.
