Takes ages to get going. 3/10

Review: What a load of rubbish. I was wondering why I didn't hear anything about this movie, and now I know why. The storyline was quite terrible and it I lost interest after a while. I did get a bit confused near the end, but I wasn't that bothered. Morgan Freeman's part could have been played by anybody because he's only in a couple of scenes. There isn't that much action so you just end up watching Tom Cruise for 2 hours, trying to work out what the hell is going on. I also found his wife pretty annoying but the CGI was pretty believable. I was expecting something amazing to happen throughout the movie, but as usual, nothing really did. The whole tempo of the movie and the fact that there isn't much of a cast, is what made the film extremely disappointing and it just seemed to drag. What a waste of $120million.
Round-Up: Tom Cruise has really gone down in my estimation lately, with movies like the disappointing Jack Reacher, he needs to pick another avenue. As usual, his movies always make there money back so the studios will always be giving his projects a big budget, but the last good movie that I saw him in was Tropic Thunder were he was acting completely out of his comfort zone. Morgan Freeman looked a bit out of place in this film, for some unknown reason, but I did like the robots. I hope they don't come out with a sequel to this film because I personally don't care what happens to the characters. I did end up falling asleep a couple of times because it takes about an hour before anything really happens so be warned.
Budget: $120million Worldwide Gross: $286million
I recommend this movie to people who like there futuristic end of the world type of films with Tom Cruise being the hero. 3/10
