The Tom
Cruise that we know chases Russians, performs some aerobic insanity out of the
tallest building on earth and saves the globe in the last seconds. Well, he doesn't have to worry about saving the earth in this movie because it is
already dealt with.
The movie
starts with a brief story of our moon’s end, resulting catastrophe, shifting
the entire planet to Titan (Saturn’s largest moon) and the ongoing fight with
the so-called Scavengers, all narrated by Cruise himself.
Clearly Cruise
himself agrees that his memory has been wiped after the war to protect the
classified information from falling into the wrong hands. Everything goes like
clockwork until a shuttle crashes with human survivors and what happens next
makes Cruise doubt everything.
If a add
word more than that, you will curse me for this review. So I will keep the
surprises unspoiled. This movie is a unique blend of various emotional
coefficients like Love, Self realization, Sacrifice & Poetry.
The visual effects
have been the heart and soul of this movie. You will find the ruins of Empire
State, Golden Gate Bridge and if you have your eyes peeled, you may even notice
the torch of the Statue of Liberty. Since this is a post apocalyptic movie,
grey dominates more than any other color, but you won’t get the irritation out
of it because it is well balanced by the High Tech gadgets, drones and a house
which everyone wants to put their name on.
The cast have
done a pretty decent job and as a result the movie looks even more presentable.
With some neat twists at the end, this flick is definitely worth the price of
admission.
I would say 7.5/10
