Headed for the dustbin of history

Rating: 1/10 (3 July 2005)

Travolta had his Battlefield Earth. Now Cruise has this movie. Especially considering all the pre-release hype this movie received and the involvement of Spielberg, this movie is an incredible disappointment. It has nothing intelligent to say. It has no characters to admire. There is nothing remotely funny or witty. The characters are scripted to act like idiots.
So whoopee, it has some great special effects. Well guess what, great special effects today equals cheesy special effects 10 years from now. Which, in the long run, leaves this movie with nothing at all to recommend it.
Save your money and your time on this one.
