Crap

Rating: 2/10 (7 May 2013)

Two only for Morgan Freeman and some decent camera work. 8 points off for being so bad it literally made me angry. I have not seen Moon and I will try not spoil anything signifcant for you, but if you have seen one scifi movie, don't waste one second of your life with this. I was so excited going into the theater, I thought the premise looked great. I like post apocalyptic films and have no problem with Tom Cruise. First point, the pacing is terrible. There are moments that drag on endlessly, then things perk up a bit, back to dragging. If the characters were more engaging the slow spots might not have been too bad, but they are not. Tom is the best of the lot. No one else really has anything to do or contributes much on screen. The Vica character was as useful as the computer on Star Trek, but less charming, to call the rest caricatures would be kind, mainly they are just fodder for the drones. Plot holes, OMG. I lost count at how many, but here's a few that really burned, the drones can either not be shot down with about a million bullets fired at them, or just one bullet will take care of them, Come on! Two, spoiler - given that Vica has Jack (Tom) on a very short leash when did he have time to make his cabin in the woods? Three, spoilerish when the ship is ejected and sent back to earth, where did it go b/c it never landed on earth? Was it just in orbit? How did the folks here know it was there and how to get it down? Did NASAs records survive the annihilation? Also, and then I will close, the story is repetitious, painfully repetitious. I don't mean just that it rips off so many better films, I mean the movie shows the same scene many,many,many,many times. Like spoiler Jacks "memories" or whatever of old Earth. You see the thoughts many times, then he meets up with a female and has the thoughts again, then he talks about the thoughts and then you see the scene again, for like the 5th time. Stop hitting me over the head with your obvious plot crap, movie! I wouldn't recommend this to anyone even to rent. There are better things to do with your time and I am thinking that includes a Brazilian.
