OK movie

Rating: 5/10 (6 November 2016)

It was an OK movie and not a total waste of time. Tom Cruise was Tom Cruise so did not see any real new dimensions from him. It had a very slick look but the plot was lacking with a lot of plot holes and it ran a bit long. It started fine but when he had the moments in the stadium and then ended up in shangri-lai on supposedly waste land I felt the movie was not going well. Now, who would put a power core for a drone up front (they just snap in with gum) and it was so easy to disable. They were awful shots so there goes credibility. After meeting the scabs, it started getting predictable and as others as said the mother ship could not tell who the second person was or that they carried weapons. Of course the flight recorder that he happen to have filled in most of the story points. For the conclusion, the other tech finds the shangri-la and they live happily ever after.
It just looked like an expensive pretty picture with a weak story although I liked it better than some other recent ones. It would have been a good Outer Limits episode.
