I have seen the future...and it's been done before and better.

Rating: 3/10 (26 December 2013)

10 minutes in and I was thinking: "This is boring." And one hour fifty minutes later as the credits rolled I was left feeling no different.
It's obvious that piles of money were thrown at this project but to what end? The characters don't engage the emotions. The plot is utterly derivative and full of holes. The direction plods. It's a complete snooze.
Tom Cruise looks old. The female actors provide little more than decoration. Morgan Freeman is employed (yet again) to add gravitas to a load of old bunkum (as he was in Olympus Has Fallen) and fails (again).
The trailer had me hoping for a spectacular, firecracker of a film experience but all I got was a damp squib. Boring and disappointing. A waste of two (L-O-N-G) hours.
Slow. Overly-long. Dull. Not recommended.
