good but still quite not up to its full potential

Rating: 7/10 (23 July 2013)

Well, when I hear Tom Cruise is the lead character of a movie, that movie sure has 50% chances IMHO to become a success, not because his name is on the credits but because he is an old fashion actor, who delivers big time: seriousness, nerve, ambition, no fake moments there! Now, about this production, I think it's quite good, it keeps you awake not knowing what's following...although the moment I saw the first transmission from the Teth, I noticed something was seriously wrong with Sally, she was somehow showing not human behavior...are u still an efficient team????? The characters were OK, all the actors performed well, I just loved Andrea Riseborough's performance by the way (solid entry), Morgan Freeman, best like always, a titan of the movies, I just love him as well, Olga is OK as well. The picture/sound OK but from the special effects side I had better expectations, I consider the effects OK but it could have been better, especially since the movie's budget is not quite low. I have only one problem, with the intrigue and the story in general. The idea brilliant although not an original one, but it could have been better implemented, I mean more twists and spins, it's not quite to its full potential i think. It gave me the impression I was watching a The Outer Limits episode, instead of a big screen blockbuster. Anyway, in this ocean of nowadays' worst movies, this is among the islands of faith. It's not wow, but it is definitely worth seeing!
