I am not a Tom Cruise fan at all, but on a whim I decided to rewatch this movie. I was pleasantly surprised by the rewatch.
I remembered that the movie started with a bang and was doing great until Cruise and Blunt got to the farm house then it stalled.
That was not my experience this time around. This was a really fun movie. The production values were top notch, the action was spectacular and the movie did a really good job of sticking to its logic. I also really loved the mech suits. I list this as the best use of a mech suit in a movie with District 9 and Avatar as a close second and third.
I actually loved the farmhouse part, it made me so angry. The fate of humanity rests on his shoulders, but all of that is just going to have to wait while he tries to get laid. What a piece of shit this guy is.
That is a really great take on it!
