Special f/x marathon!

Rating: 6/10 (24 August 2005)

This movie is best viewed on the big screen. It is worth seeing, but just make sure you do it while it is still in theaters, or only on video/DVD if you are able to watch it with a really nice home theater system. If not, the movie will just not sit well with you.
Cruise puts in his usual decent performance. Nothing to write home about, but definitely performs the action movie role well. Dakota Fanning is amazing. She is easily the best child actor out of Hollywood since Tatum O'Neal. She will win an Oscar before the age of 18 (she just won't win it for this action-packed blockbuster.) If you like sci-fi, action, and special f/x you will like this movie. If you're looking for revelation and great drama go see something else.
