Haven’t seen it yet. Will go check it out this week. I like Tom Cruise’s Scifi movies.
Minority Report, War of the Worlds, Edge of Tomorrow and Oblivion all good.
He’s the head of a weird cult that seems to be L. Ron Hubbard’s version of Mormonism.
He also likes America and has no problem being patriotic and called out big pharma decades ago.
There’s a lot to like about him. Which is very strange.
He’s also, from stories, very nice and friendly to fans and staff.
Do you even know what Scientology or what Mormonism is ?
“He also likes America and has no problem being patriotic “
Mostly true, but I also remember Cruise’s “Born on the Fourth of July” which was a sort of hagiography of disabled Vietnam vet Ron Kovic. I don’t necessarily consider it unpatriotic to question the Vietnam War or the way it was conducted, but at the time Cruise’s movie was made and came out Kovic was a strident leftist, acting as an apologist for Ortega’s commie regime in Nicaragua etc. At the time, I and many others took “Born on the Fourth of July” as Cruise’s sort of apology to the Hollywood left for the original “Top Gun” which was seen as a paean to the Reagan-era, non-woke U.S. military.
It’s worth a view on big screen. It has everything. It’s a fun movie. 15 years ago I’d never see a Tom cruise movie….too weird then. But seems he’s matured. I think you should go see it.
If the “he” you are referring to is Cruise, he is not the head a scientology. That distinction goes to a man named David Miscavige.
To your point about a weird culture I tend to agree.
Anyone who hasn’t seen Leah Remini’s documentary “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath” needs to....scientology is worse than I thought.
[He’s the head of a weird cult]
With space aliens, DC-8(?) spaceships, a zapper to read one’s energy and ....
I did enjoy Oblivion, have seen many of the M.I. films, Jack Reacher......
“Weird cult”?
You mean the Democratic Party?
That would be Dementia Joe who sexually abused his own daughter by taking showers with her.
What kind of father does that?
“He’s the head of a weird cult “
IIRC, it was posted here a while ago that he’s out of Scientology. Don’t know if it’s true.
One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. It was awesome!! My husband and I loved it.
