Into Oblivion this film should be sent...

Rating: 3/10 (13 April 2013)

First things first the cinematography and scenery was exceptional, however that is the only praise I can give about this film. I went to the cinema today in anticipation of a decent sci fi film, and all I got was a lackluster clichéd pile of rubbish! The acting was poor, Andrea Riseborough overacting, just like she did in 'Welcome to the Punch', and it wasn't Cruise's best performance. What ruined the film for me was an abundance of plot holes and a bizarre and unorthodox ending, put at the same time as generic as they come! The 30 second journey between Yosemite national park and the empire state building particularly made me chuckle to myself. Simple mistakes relating to physics that a 10 year old could pick out: Jack's swimming pool that is somewhere in the stratosphere has perfect wind speeds and temperature to strip off and jump into! Overall, visually the film was exceptional but apart from that it was really really dire!
