I was surprised how good the acting was from Olga Kurylenko and Andrea Riseborough. A lot of people are going to miss out because of their prejudices against Tom Cruise (for being a scientologist). People claim that he’s in the closet, he might be a closet conservative with roles like this one and Jack Reacher.

There’s another reason why I have a hard time taking Cruise seriously in action movies... because he is short. Still, he CAN turn in a good performance (I thought he was fantastic as a damaged, narcissistic motivational speaker in “Magnolia”).

It is hard any longer for me to accept Cruise given the combination of the well-deserved “prejudice” I have for the cult of Scientology and his strident advocacy for it. He is not just an actor who happens to be a Scientologist he is a primary cult icon to the Scientology cult as well as a primary public promoter of it.

There are plenty of things in entertainment that my life will not suffer for not having experienced them.

I finally watched the movie today and I really enjoyed it. I should have seen it in the theater because I really like science fiction.
