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.

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?

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.

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.

Looks interesting, for some reason this reminds me a little of Total Recall and Terminator Salvation.
