Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) is one of the last drone repairmen stationed on Earth after a war with the alien race (called the Scavengers or the "Scavs") which left our planet in ruins and mankind on the run to one of the Saturn's moons, Titan. The Titan colony is powered by the energy harvested on Earth by power stations that generate fuzion power from seawater and the drones are there to protect them from attacks. Despite the alien race having lost the war, they want to make ensure the human race does not survive, trying to destroy all power plants on Earth. Will Jack and his partner Victoria "Vic" Olsen (Andrea Riseborough) be able to fight off the attacks and survive the last two weeks on Earth before settling on Titan or will the Scavs make a one last attempt to once and for all get rid of humans?
REVIEW
Firstly: don't expect tense non-stop action because movie is not about that. In film's foreground is a human story and stunning sci-fi fantasy world. Cinematography is really stunning, plot is solid, plus you'll see some good acting (Cruise, Leo, Freeman), although cast is not big. I also liked storyline that was a bit different. But on the other hand there are some cliches and cheesy moments. The main thing I didn't like is it's pace. Film starts a bit slow, gets your attention but than you again desire something more. 3+/5
