The plot line of this film is that a couple of technicians are overseeing the removal of the last of the water on Earth after a war with some aliens. Except the Aliens are people and the technicians are clones and you pretty much have to put your brain on hold to wait for the few scenes of exposition between the action scenes.
So you have Tom Cruise still playing the young heartthrob at 50-something while his co-stars are in their 20s.
The problem I had with the plot is that if Tom and his girlfriend are clones, there's really no good reason for the alien machine to convince them they are people. Why not just program them to do whatever you want them to do?
