looks great but too many logic questions

Rating: 6/10 (19 August 2013)

It's 2077. The Earth has been devastated after winning a war against aliens. Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) is a drone repairman living with Vika Olsen (Andrea Riseborough) on an isolated floating outpost. It's been five years since their mandatory memory wipe. Humanity has moved to Titan. The platform transforms water into fusion energy for the new home. Jack has to fight the reminent alien scavs. Despite the wipe, he has dreams of memories and collects relics from the past. He finds a crashed ship and revives Julia Rusakova (Olga Kurylenko) from status. They are captured by humans led by Malcolm Beech (Morgan Freeman).
There is no denying that this movie looks great. I even like the wimpy sounds the machines make. Right from the start, things don't seem right. If this movie had any hope, the story must pass the smell test at the start. As Jack lays out the exposition, a dozen different questions come to my mind. The world doesn't make sense and it's annoying. Once the start doesn't make sense, then it's questionable why Jack can't see it. Even with a good reveal, not all the questions are answered. And the damage is done already anyways.
