...it's been a while since there has been a new movie to draw me to the multiplex - most of the interesting ones of late will do just as well on my HD flat screen at home in a couple of months.

So along comes a new Tom Cruise sci-fi film about post-apocalyptic earth and a couple of care-tkers who are soon to go the new planet. Of course things do not go as planned and much is not as it seems.

The two local papers disagreed - one gave it a D saying it was pretty weak compared say, to Cruise's earlier classic, Minority Report.

The other gave it a B saying that regardless, Cruise's charisma keeps you focused and involved in the film.

I agree with both and give it a C - at the end the plot doesn't make a lot of sense but Cruise does a really good job and it's worth seeing on the big screen.

At least until next month at least when the summer blockbusters begin to come out.
