Spielberg at his best

Rating: 6/10 (3 July 2005)

Nobody can be trusted more than Spielberg to make a good blockbuster. This is classic Spielberg with all his usual touches. Above all else Spielberg understands the rule that things that cannot be seen are far more scary than things that can.
The film doesn't take long to introduce the characters before putting them through all sorts of nasty problems. Will they survive the ordeal? The odds seemed stacked against them, but since it's Tom Cruise who knows. The action is more or less unrelenting with the end being a little rushed. Overall pretty good stuff though with plenty of scary moments. I'm sure the theme park ride will be under development as I write this.
