Just don't get any spoilers!!!! One of the best sci-fi films of the decade.

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 2020)

The less you know going into this movie the better the experience will be for you. Some people here are calling it predictable and obvious, but I, maybe to my detriment, still had no idea where the plot was going until the end. Is it derivative of other science fiction movies? Maybe, but at least it's daring enough to be an original story instead of a remake or wanna-be franchise starter.
Joseph Kosinski is a highly underrated director of science fiction and I hope he continues in this genre. After my ultimate guilty pleasure (TRON Legacy) he directed this gem about Tom Cruise's isolated life on a wreaked Earth. The photography and imagery is completely stunning, more so than many other 'acclaimed' science fiction and independent films, and it is filled with creative and unique designs that you just don't really see in a one-off movie like this. (Bubble-ship, the drones, his air-house, etc). The pacing is a little slow but that's because they need to show off all these designs and scenery that are basically pieces of art, and I wouldn't care if they took hours doing it. The color palette is fantastic. I found more positive aspects in it than in other modern sci fi films such as the okay Arrival. Maybe Tom Cruise just turns too many people off. Too bad for them.
