Leeched. I thought it was ok, but it left me with too many questions. Which I like so I thought I would post them here for discussion.
negatives:
- Hal-9000? Really?
- Morgan Morpheus?
- ID- go to mother ship to detonate bomb. Ugh!
- Where all those humans dead well guess it doesn't matter since Tom thought it would be a good idea to nuke'm all.
- Still trying to grasp teh time travel over-lap thing. The over-all theme of time travel is confusing.(please explain)positive:

Did anyone else notice it was basically a rip off of this movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182… with more action? Jospeh Kosinski is a hack.

^ I did. Did anyone else wonder what the hell all the other thousands of Tom Cruises are going to do now?

Well I absolutely loved the film. I was completely captured by it and enjoyed picking every little bit out of it - all the references to 2001, Matrix, Moon, Star Wars, Cloud Atlas and yes, even Independence Day... [ + countless others ] , the M83 soundtrack, Gmunks graphics etc, I personally think it will stand up as a future classic.
Yes Tom Cruise is, well, Tom Cruise, but I couldn't think of another actor to not give anything to it so to let the knowledge [ not "story" per se ] based visual story play out.
I give it 4.5 stars

To me it felt more recycled than an effective homage. Moon was much more effective at exploring the cloning theme because it was character-based and had a sense of humor. Cruise was basically a robot in this movie, they might as well have used a 3D projection instead of hiring him (or a clone :)

some elements of the movie make me think about:
- Portal
- Half-Life
- Wall-E
- 2001: A Space Odyssey

why did the big Tent let him in as it could scan his voice and know he was lying. it would be like asking sadam if he had a concealed gun, knowing hes lying and letting him meat the president
loved the shimmer on the tents hal tho... that was a nice touch.
everything inside tent was smooth... how did it create the buildings, robots etc and as it had banks and banks of drones inside why didnt it deploy more on the planet?

I saw it this evening, I rather liked it.

The last 45 minutes of this re-make of the Tron Sountrack could have been 15 minutes long. My mates and I were just squirming to leave with half an hour to go. The long, romantic stares between Cruise and the Russian chick were so freaking dead and wooden.
The CGI for the computer tech was what had me the most excited about the whole film. Besides that, I spent most of the movie saying 'That part's from Armageddon, that part's from Deep Impact', etc etc. It was vomit-inducingly derivative.

The part where she just dragged the GPS co-ordinates for the destination across the screen and onto the ship, thereby loading the directions into the ship was badass.

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.

I think more than one movie every ten years should be allowed to explore a theme already covered by previous movie. People said Avatar was fern gully and dances with wolves. Or Oblivion was Wall-E and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Seems like it's always a movie that attempts to get the viewer to see a bigger picture, to convey a positive message or just get someone to think. I like it when Hollywood explores this type of subject matter (i.e. existentialism, effect on the world around us, humanity, nature, technology etc.). Negative Nancy critics in their comfort zones need to chill. I say moar and keep it coming.
- what is the point? as we move ahead so should sci fi.74LEO
