Interesting and entertaining

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 2013)

Being a fan of science fiction movies and not of Tom Cruise, I gave this movie a chance. It was a great decision because this movie was surprisingly entertaining. The movie has lush and deep textures that range from futurist sterile to overgrown and organic. The Story has a few twists that may sneak up on some, but feel telegraphed to others. THe acting is fairly consistent throughout the cast, although there are a few moments were classic Tom Cruise overacting comes into play. There is enough action to entice the mindless shoot em up fans while still a deep enough plot that fans of more heady pictures will be comfortable sitting through the films entirety.Overall the film is more original than most big budget films and at times even makes a statement.
