Better the second time

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2013)

The first time I saw this movie it was a bit confusing. But after reading some online forums I decided to see it again. Enjoyed it much more the second time. The shoot-em-up ending seemed contrived, but the internal struggle for Jack and for his "effective" team mate make up the difference. Great shot of the moon.
This novel this movie is based on must have been written using an alternate time line. The movie's war supposedly started in 2017. We're nowhere near this space time line. The US would rather spend money on old technology to pad greedy pockets than to actually innovate again. Industrial/military/congressional complex is stifling space and ocean exploration.
