Graphically stunning, with a OK script

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2005)

I was hoping they wouldn't screw it up and I was glad with the outcome. The script is weak with many plot holes, but the special effects are mindblowing so they mostly made up. Dakota Fanning and Tom Cruise did a great job acting, but the son character (Justin Chatwin) kind of lowered the overall performance. This movie although being good was very intense and contained severval somewhat graphic scenes of violence (about the same level as star wars episode 3). Also the ending seemed a little tacked on like they had to think of a ending all of a sudden. I would have liked to see them play it out a little more, but overall a pretty good movie and I give it 8.0 out of 10
