Fast paced with plenty of great CGI imaging

Rating: 7/10 (13 April 2013)

Obvious story elements from Terminator and Independence Day with a few sound effects from War of the Worlds thrown in for good measure. My wife asked why the aliens used an upside down triangle as their base - I commented that the Borg had already used the cube as theirs.
Having said all that - the film moves at a good pace with a couple of good plot turns along the way.
Tom Cruise delivers a good experience in this film and is support by some very good, and very recognizable, actors that make the plot believable.
As a post-apocalyptic story, it is probably the best so far this year.
Very enjoyable.
