I still haven't quite forgiven Tom Cruise for playing Jack Reacher. I've been a Cruise fan for years but that one really, really got my back up. So much so that I have decided not to buy any more Lee child books and was seriously considering boycotting anything with TC in it (oo, get me!). My girlfriend and I though, are both sci-fi fans and we got the Apple TV thing a while back. So access to films through iTunes/Netflix etc is pretty easy. This Oblivion movie came up and I had heard the visuals were amazing etc etc and the trailer I had seen and it looked interesting. But TC is in it. And TC let me down with the whole Jack Reacher thing! So we ummed and aahed and weighed it up and eventually I thought what the hell and rented it. Watched it in bed, and she fell asleep about half way through - not a good sign. She does that a lot though. Problem is that if she falls asleep I have to turn the volume down fairly low, then it's easy to miss important dialogue/plot points etc. And because of that I got a bit confused about two-thirds of the way through, started going on line on my phone to clarify the plot etc while the movie was still playing, got more confused, then turned it off! Amateur! Anyway, we re-watched it next morning. It blew my head off. Stunning, beautiful epic work of a movie. I love it. I can't quite put my finger on why, could be something to do with soul.. ha ha I guess that's the point. I forgive you Tom... but I'm still not buying anymore Jack Reacher books :)
