Trivia

There are two scenes in this movie that are very similar to Mission: Impossible III (2006). The first is when Jack is in the library retreating. The walkway bridge he used is taken out. He is forced to throw his rifle across first, then jumping over, barely making it, as he pulls himself up. This scene is very similar to Mission: Impossible III. When the drone takes out part of the bridge as Owen Davian is escaping, Ethan throws his rifle across as he jumps over, barely making it, and pulling himself up. The second scene (in Mission: Impossible III) is when Ethan is about to inject Anna with Adrenaline. He grabs her, and says "This is going to hurt", then injects her. A very similar scene was shot in Oblivion, when Jack grabs Julia (after she had been shot, in the desert scene) and says "This is going to hurt", then injects her. Julia is also the name of Ethan's wife in Mission: Impossible III (2006). See more »

Goofs

When the Tet is destroyed, the attacking drones fall out of the air when they lose contact. However, the Tet loses contact with different areas of the earth as it orbits, meaning the drones would be useless many times during the day. However, they are shown fully functional and destroying the sleep pods after the Tet loses contact with Vicka and the tower, having went below the horizon. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Jack Harper: Earth, before the war. New York, before I was born. A place I've only seen pictures of. I know you... But we've never met. I'm with you... But I don't know your name. I know I'm dreaming. But it feels like more than that. It feels like a memory. How can that be?

Crazy Credits

The Tet can be seen in the opening Universal logo, orbiting the Earth. See more »

Alternate Versions

The film's IMAX release presented the film open-matte, at an aspect ratio of 1.90:1, meaning there was more picture information visible in the top and bottom of the frame than in normal theaters and on home video. See more »

As entertainment, brilliant....
13 April 2013 | by portseaSee all my reviews

I went to see this having read a few reviews, I also heard a review from a friend that Richard Wilkins on Australian critic had said it wasn't that good.

Well, I have no idea what film they saw, but it wasn't the one I saw. The start was a little slow, but still threw in some moments of concern to keep one on the edge. As the film settled on, it kept moving at a good pace. Story was a basic love story, mixed in with morality, but basically, love story.

Cgi was amazing, cinematography was brilliant, stunning even. All the main characters were easy on the eye too, always making it easier to want to watch.

Plot wasn't sophisticated, probably described as feel good, but frankly, it was perfect. I left a 2 hour film and wasn't bored for a second.

Cruise, for all the press on him and his supposed kookiness, I don't care, he carried the film.....

GO SEE THIS, pure entertainment.
