Moral of the story: pure sci-fi action

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2005)

There's no slowing down for a love story or any deep intellectual meaning. This is an action flick and nothing else. The action started early and didn't stop. By the end I was exhausted. I felt I had been exercising for two hours. I had been tense and sweating. Very exciting!
It was so good I could forgive a few minor blemishes. Dakota Fanning (great in this movie!) had one lousy line. Kids don't say grown-up things like "That's not how you're going to get through to him." But that was okay, and it was early in the movie.
Tom Cruise did accomplish one super-human feat that I found unbelievable, but by that time, I didn't care. It was all good.
Don't look for any morals here. Don't expect to learn anything about the human experience. Just be prepared to run.
