I know nothing about the film apart from this review:
"They could've called it, Matrix of the Apes, Independence Moon, or CRUISE-E'

Ruin it for who? Its been out for what feels like a year. Carry on!
- it could be a century, it doesn't matter. if someone hasn't seen it, you ruin it for themMiguex
- or if you recommend a really old movie to a friend that has not seen it, you tell him the entire movie just because its old?Miguex
- of course not! you are not on BATH SALTS, like this guy http://www.qbn.com/t…Miguex

The music was over the top and very american. Hated the ending. But was a fun movie and visually amazing. A shit ton better than Elysium.
It should have ended (SPOILERS):
I liked the idea that humans did actually evacuate to Titan. So...
Cruise and his clone girl fly towards the mother ship.
They go in and meet the evil alien AI being.
Their nuke bomb plan doesn't work. Cruise and girl killed.
Alien mothership gets pissed off, flies down to earth and starts destroying EVERYTHING wrath of god style. Bring in the God and Religion themes more.
Here it's now revealed that the real Cruise we've been following through the movie is on earth with his actual love, earth burning around them.
Cruise and girl stock pile the bubble ship with energy cells and escape, leaving earths atmosphere.
It'd end on them flying out into space with a cheesy but epic line like, "Where are we going?" cruise: "Titan."
Cut to black. Sets up a sequel.

Watch it last night and enjoyed it a lot. SPOILERS**
Had an atmosphere and similarities a lot like Moon (which is a fantastic movie, and better in my opinion).
The visuals and scenes were incredible, I think most qbners new it was Iceland from the start! :P
Morgan freeman looked like a bad ass.
I found there were some parts, like cheesy lines, sideways glances and certain bits of acting that seemed to just be there for the sake of it being a Hollywood blockbuster. Like it was ticking a checklist of sorts, which the film would have been better off without.
Saw the plot twist coming a mile off with the clones. Which I thought was kinda unnecessary. Would have been cool if they were just other humans tricked to do the same job.
All the water processing towers, the platform in the sky, the aTet, the typography seemed to be very anime inspired which was cool.
I thought the last line "fuck you Sally" was shockingly shit. they could have had something smarter, maybe referenced the effective team, or day in paradise repetition.
Overall very much enjoyed it.

I also read that the sky tower apartment back drops weren't green/blue screened in. Instead that's used 21 projectors to project an image onto a 500x42 foot sheet of muslin.
They said actors enjoyed being in the environment and the light from the projection contributed to 90% of the scene lighting.
Which I thought was pretty cool. Kinda charming when stuff isn't all done in post. Wise move considering all those reflections in the sky tower, imagine having to put most of those reflections in post.
