The sky lounge - the only redeeming quality in this movie.

Rating: 5/10 (19 April 2013)

Hey look, I'm glad that you liked it. I can understand why some might, but for some us this movie is not very good.
If you haven't been exposed to the many common Hollywood and sci-fi movie tropes that are in this movie, it might come across as novel or original.
The movie tries so so hard to be many things. Its ruined by being so obvious, predictable, and too long.
Stuff I liked (major spoilers) The Tet, has given its clones decked out space lounges in the sky, complete with pool and lattes. The Tet has some architectural design cred, how evil could it possibly be? You have Morgan Freeman, being the same quasi-presidential-leader he's been typecast in since that meteor movie. Its almost just a giveaway having him on the cast.
The puppy - yes this movie has a poor dog that gets tazed. Its always puppies, never some street cat.
Americana galore - you'll be given a tour of American landmarks conveniently placed throughout the film. You'll even take pit-stop and chill at lakeside cabin and listen to ol' records! Might as well have had him open up a fridge of Budd.
The children, saved as an emotional contrivance for the end.
Drones, and more drones - fairly easy to render CGI drones that are none-too-bright.
Clones and more clones. Why does the Tet not just make androids to do its bidding, why bother with fallible humans? Oh and the score has some huge bass drops, and is just way over the top, but not in a good way.
I found this movie to be an odd mix of Moon, Total Recall (old and new), Portal (videogame), Mass Effect (design and music), and Terminator. The problem is all of these are better standalone.
There was potential here, it was just over-cooked.
