Now This Is What I Call A Great Sci-Fi Package! ♦ 82%

Rating: 8/10 (4 August 2013)

Starting off with a story of a couple who are on a mission. Watch 15 minutes and the plot looks clear. Further ahead are two or three twists that will blow your mind out.
The screenplay & direction is something to be lauded. CGI & VFX are very good. But, the score & SFX are better. Not boring with ridiculous melodramas, the plot revolves around post-apocalyptic-war. Lots of action sequences involved with gun battles, drone attacks & like. Tom Cruise looks old but his demeanor is fantastic & apt for the portrayal he pulls off. Supporting cast is fine, but I am unhappy with Olga Kurylenko for her wooden expressions.
Music is enchanting which gives that "Inception" feeling. Climactic scenes are jaw-dropping & slightly ennui-ridden. The climax reminded of a Bollywood film (Paheli).
BOTTOM LINE: A very good experience, inducing wonder. 8.2 it is!
