Filled with anxiety

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2005)

I haven't been this frightened by a movie since I watched Aliens maybe 20 years ago. The movie brilliantly conjured fear inside of me. The alien machines - o m g, they are just so deeply horrible, I almost lost my breath.
This is a movie I'm glad I went to the cinema to watch. At home it might have been just another sci-fi action.
Tom Cruise doesn't play a typical hero, but rather a semi-failed weekend father that aren't able to act on ordinary life's challenges. The fear in the movie builds around Cruise's character's attempt to cope when facing extinction.
