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 don't like tom cruise either but watching him get his ass kicked every single time he got out of bed was worth the watch

Also noteworthy for being one of Bill Paxton’s final performances.
