Review Haven rated this 7 out of 10
Written on 15 April 2013Pros:Different storyline from the usual.
Twists and turns to keep you guessing.
Cons:More could be done with the ending after all is revealed.
Can be slow at times.
Overall:After an invasion of Scavengers in 2017, the earth is left devastated after the moon was destroyed and 60 years on after the nuclear war, Tom Cruise plays Jack Harper who is an engineer faced with the task of the final clean-up crew after the rest of humanity have moved to a new place called Titan.
The visuals are great throughout showing the devastation of war and the beauty that the earth still has that Jack visits to keep his connection with the past and his past life. The action starts when a ship crash lands in one of his sectors that only adds fuel to the questions and doubt he has regarding the real reasons behind his mission.
There are a lot of twists and turns throughout the movie which makes it different than the usual plot that is expected. There are times when it is fast and has a lot of information to take in blended in with slower scenes that enable you to take in the surroundings and the loneliness of being one of the final people on earth.

Pros:Fantastic special effects, brillian filmography and an engaging plot from start to finish. The scene from the pool was one of the most passionate I've seen in a movie for some time.
Cons:Even though the ending was satisfactorily explanatory, it seemed a bit too rushed. I was left with a disproportianat
Overall:e feeling... 95% of the time asking questions, 5% of the time getting answers. While not as entertaining as 'Minority Report', still a must watch. If for no other reason, must be seen for a glimpse of the writer's impression of the future of technlogy.
