Beautiful...but a little drawn out

Rating: 7/10 (21 April 2013)

As has been mentioned in other reviews, the effects are great. This truly is a movie to be enjoyed on the big screen. The storyline was OK, but a tad predictable...especially the ending. My biggest criticism was the length of the film...everything could have been tightened up by the removal of a good many superfluous scenes. Tom Cruise does a decent job as does the rest of the cast. Morgan Freeman really has little more than what amounts to a cameo appearance in the film. If you were expecting him to have a major role in the movie, you will likely be disappointed. Still...go see it...this is a prime example of why we go to the movies!
