Good, But Not great

Rating: 8/10 (6 December 2018)

I don't understand why so many critics trashed this film. It was quite good, but had room for improvement. That said, for a 2nd time director (of his own film, no less), I give a lot of props to Joseph Kosinski and Tom Cruise as well for the world Kosinski created and brought it to life. Something I cannot stand is Vika's nightgown. Whoever was in charge of wardrobe made a very good suit for Jack, but Vika's nightgownl is like something from your grandmother's closet. For that matter, her dress is pretty bad as well. Regardless, it's a film I liked as much as or more than "Elysium"(2013), but not near as much as "Prometheus" (2012). Ironically, some of that was filmed in Iceland also, which is where Noomi Rapace grew up (the star of "Prometheus"), and visited family and friends while shooting there. I look forward to Kosinski's next film, as "Brave" (2017) is not really my cup of tea. We shall see.
