Half sci-fi plus half romance does not equal a whole movie.

Rating: 3/10 (25 May 2012)

I expected a high credibility movie on Mr. Damon's name alone, but only got a copy-paste no-brainer of a genre mix. As with "Shutter Island" it doesn't move me emotionally or intellectually- it just tries too hard to be intriguing by mixing genres.
Even trying to make the poster resemble that of "North By North West" doesn't recreate the unique thriller movie romance between Grant and Eva Marie Saint, neither makes Nolfi Hitchcock. And where Nolfi's idle running "The Sentinel" (2006) is carried through by solid acting(Douglas, Sutherland) as a more classic genre piece, Bourne, oops, correction, Damon and Blunt has not a quality mixed genre screenplay to work with.
Now, only "Code 46"(2003, Winterbottom) or "Blade Runner"(1982, R. Scott) can now erase my memory of a bad executed sci-fi romance. Even "Minority Report"(2002, Spielberg) could do that, replacing romance with a level of development of Mr. Cruise's character.
2 for the sci-fi, 4 for the romance, 3 for the screenplay
