Excellent!!

Rating: 9/10 (29 August 2005)

I'm yet to see the original of this film, but after seeing this remake definitely makes me want to go out and buy it.
To begin with, I'm NOT a fan of Tom Cruise at all. Upon leaving the cinema I decided to go out and buy Minority Report, and Vanilla Sky just because of the respect I'd gained for Cruise after seeing that film.
The special effects are mind blowing, but definitely not over the top and have you sitting on the edge of your seat throughout the entire film. The first time that you get to see one of the machines had me sitting with my jaw hanging open going "Holy Sh*t!!" The film definitely makes an impact on you, and it's fantastic to see a film with a GOOD alien plot.
Dakota Fanning is, as always, fantastic in this film - Very natural and believable acting. Will never stop going to see her films! Tim Robbins plays an interesting part, but a good one. Kutos to him too.
