There was a period, during the early 2000s and 2010s, where Tom Cruise seemed to star in a string of science fiction movies: Minority Report, The War of the Worlds, Edge of Tomorrow (aka Live. Die Repeat).

And this.

Which largely seems to be forgotten.

In this, Cruise plays security repairman Jack Harper, stationed on Earth (after the defeat of an alien invasion) in order to repair drones that look after massive machinery from the remnants of the defeated alien foe.

Or so he initially believes.

Until he rescues a stranger from a downed spacecraft - a woman he has never met yet has recurring dreams of.

So, what we have, really, is a sci-fi mystery where Cruise (of course) sprints, rides motorbikes and tries to make sense of it all!

Thrilling and intense!

I am loving this work of fiction with underlying nuggets of facts spread throughout. The intricacies of relationships, loyalty and duties. This on top of amnesia, with deadly punishment for those who show disobedience, is a bit of a rollercoaster that's for sure.

Written as a standalone disavow is brilliant, romantic and suspenseful. It's part of a multi-auther series that is independently written.....what a cool way to keep things fresh and interesting.

Rosalia is our strong, female lead......she's also the one with amnesia. I really like how she has been described and portrayed. I feel for her and had my fingers crossed all the way through for her. The way she's facing so many problems head on and showing inner strength is awesome.

What do you get if you take 'Universal Soldier', add a dollop of 'Terminator 2', a sprinkle of 'The Matrix', and a vertiginous punch-up that could have been taken straight from 'Spider-Man 2'?

The answer is this movie.

Except it's not as good as any of the previously mentioned; missing that spark that makes all of them science-fiction classics.

Vin Diesel - in-between headlining The Fast and the Furious franchise - must simply have been looking for a payday.

Here, he pays marine Ray Garrison, resurrected by a team of scientists after he and has wife are murdered, and setting out on a mission of revenge. It also takes about 45 minutes or so before you get to the good(ish) stuff, where the layers start to peel away ...
