Oblivion was fun. There were enough plot twists to keep it interesting but the overall trope has become rather cliche in SciFi. I won’t put in spoilers for those who haven’t seen it yet.
Cruise usually does a good job. And he was stunning in “A Few Good Men.” I try to avoid judging the Hollywood talent by their personal lives. If they can act, they can.
Yeah, I sometimes find myself falling into the “personal life” trap, but then I end up watching movies by that person anyway, so I’m thinking it really doesn’t matter.
I’ve just never been a Tom Cruise fan, long before he ever got into Scientology. My son, on the other hand, likes him because he does his own stunts, and because of it, FS has lots of his movies.
But you’re right — there were enough plot twists to keep it interesting. I haven’t seen many movies since my divorce a lifetime ago because I don’t like to go to the theater alone. All my life, since I was a very short person, I’ve had a movie buddy. Until suddenly, I didn’t.
So seeing movies at home is a treat. Much better with my favorite movie buddy.
