Rating: 8 out of 10, Science fiction on a very large scale, but done right, focusing on the stories of the people involved. That story was kind of predictable (the supposed big twist is just about revealed in the previews) but Cruise, for whatever else he is, can carry a movie like this effortlessly, even when he has to fight himself. He does get to make his trademark, head back sprinting scene a number of times, so you get that. His interactions with other cast members were tone perfect and very believable. My only problem was the severe underuse of Morgan Freeman and the Jaime Lannister guy. I think there was a great movie hiding just under the surface of this very good flick.
MVP: Cruise as the abused hero Jack
