    This was more than I expected.
    I liked the CG in vehicles and control devices.
    The TET and and the main "alien" had a very graphic quality to it, very minimal.
    The earth scenes and general atmosphere was really good. Liked the scenery.
    The story line was quite good actually if you don't want to dig deeper into why and whats. After all it's a two hour movie rather than a book so things can not be detailed as much, otherwise you have to limit the story to a shorter life span as in Moon or 2001.
    Cruise was a good choice, you don't want a really dramatic face but you need fighter/action character, he's better than an Ewan McGregor or Liam Neeson in that sense.
    Also he's aging in reverse, must have something to do with Scientology. Maybe he's become an alien already.
    Go watch it, you won't loose anything if you're a sci-fi fan or not.

    • also the score was good.Beeswax
    • and all sci-fi borrows from each other. Some rookies here say it's a derivative, there's no escape from it.Beeswax
