An astoundingly well thought out sci-fi flick.

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2013)

This is truly a fantastic sci-fi film. This year really hasn't been one for the critics, who, for the most part have mis-judged every film that I have seen. Perhaps the critics are becoming too critical, or too politically correct, both of which impair their ability to see a good film when one is right in front of them.
Onto the film itself and it has all that one would expect of a good scifi, mystery, suspense, incredible visuals, a 'what happens next' scenario and a few loud bangs thrown in for good measure. Tom cruise plays his part amazing, especially considering the complexity of the character he plays (revealed in the movie). And any movie containing merely the voice of Morgan Freeman is always worth a watch.
This film is not dumbed down, it does even attempt to make one think about life and the world, so perhaps that is why the critics disliked it (hehe). I would not say its a top 250 (imdb) but its definitely a movie that I will always recommend, and when attempting to find fault, i was unable to find enough of one to warrant any other rating than 10/10. But I am a scifi fan, who likes to think, so it may not appeal to everyone ;)
