Not a bad story, but definitely overlong and too many video-game style fights

Rating: 5/10 (23 February 2015)

An uneven mix of Moon, Star Wars, The Matrix and any post-apocalyptic movie. Cruise stars as usual as the hero of the story (in this case, even multiple hero), a guy named Jack who is watching over planet earth after an alien invasion destroyed the moon.
He lives in a wonderful, futuristic villa with a beautiful, stylish, well-dressed woman and commutes by helicopter around the planet to fix sophisticated broken weapons (called "drones"). Not a bad job or accommodation, if you ask me. Desolate earth looks quite peaceful and not having traffic jams or annoying neighbors looks great. Unfortunately for Jack, dark secrets are lurking around. Jack discovers that things are not quite as he thinks and that perhaps it would have been better if they were.
The discovery involves the crash of an "old" spacecraft containing mysterious Julia, who is mysteriously related to Jack. After the crash the movie lose steam and it turns into a boring ride involving too many video-game style fights.
The end is quite a let-down. Throughout the movie, which is a good 20 minutes too long, I just kept wondering what Jack and co. were eating, since there was no visible sign of agriculture, fishing or any other activity that provides food. And also, where those stylish clothes were coming from
