The first observation is the mistress of the actor. Yes, he played in the films "Vanilla Sky", "Minority Opinion", "War of the Worlds", "Oblivion", where the hero also happened mystical stuff, but there the plots demanded from him his main quality - charm. And here is a film with a claim to brutality, and to see in it such a gentle, eye-eyed hero is simply ridiculous. But apparently it works. There is not a single scene in the whole film that does not show Tom Cruise, that is, the movie is almost in the first person. The movie never gets distracted from it anywhere else. The viewer is given a direct infusion of Tom Cruise for 2 hours to achieve complete self-identification with the main character. You empathize not with the ideological content of the picture, not with a qualitatively staged drama, not with a lot of interesting revealed characters, not with interesting dialogues - you empathize only with Tom Cruise. They only sold it to you. This is a very convenient and economical way to shoot an exciting movie and win back invested money, without investing anything in it.
The filmmakers are so ignorant of the army that the whole military situation they are trying to portray looks like an attempt by girls to play soldier. A general of one country declares an officer of another country a deserter, and he is sent for some reason to the front with ordinary troops, and not to the dysbat, one fat man wears a fur suit on his underpants, a soldier is parachuted on ropes. Shit! There is a statute and science of military affairs! Everything I've just listed violates them so much that it's just a farce. Tolstoy would not have been taken into the infantry at all, they would have been sent to the lip for panties, for antics with an ally officer - the general - on trial. And the women in the barracks - why? So that there would be constant sex, clarification of relationships, stabbing? Such an army, as shown here, is completely demoralized and incapacitated. It's the coven, not the defenders. The script and the logic were just blown away. Let the critical monsters walk on the battlefield, risking to transfer the ability to roll back time to the enemy, let the officers do not want to listen to information of strategic importance, let the cowardly officer is not afraid to experience mortal pain every day and does not go mad at all, let the aunt push up under the rushing military simulators, which are even more dangerous than the aliens themselves. Glargeroy died on these simulators 10 times, but other soldiers are not immortal. Who's this supposed to be? It was a particularly fun moment. Emily Blunt says, "And then I got a blood transfusion and I lost my ability." How did you know you lost her? Did you die and never rise again? Well, they would say that with this immortality, there is some special sensation in the body that makes everything clear. But I'm not. Write whatever you want.
And yes, I can see that cool graphics, juicy colors, sometimes even fascinating, but it's like fast food. You devoured fried cholesterol with flavor enhancers, you're fine, and a couple of years later you're fat, scary, sick. So do skillfully concocted stupid blockbusters with your inner world.
