This handsomely mounted, strangely antiseptic sci-fi opus is eminently watcheable, yet comes complete with hints and echoes of other, often better, films before it. Cruise is his typically resolute self – he never phones in a performance – and Andrea Riseborough is eminently sexy, in a thoroughly clinical kinda way, and where the story does slip into mediocrity, the visuals are stunning and more than enough to maintain interest.
