Show summary in 3 lines: (In) Memory of Earth

Technical Effects: 5 out of 5 stars (Though we are used to many disaster effects, I would have to say that aside from CGI, they also made a good job in production design)

Plot: 5 out of 5 stars (Very deep with almost no room for loopholes which would make you like to discuss it even after the movie, probably days even)

Acting and Actors: 4 out of 5 stars  (Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman, do we need to say more?) 

Music and Soundtracks:  3 out for 5 stars (Good line up of sound effects and soundtracks, but it gave way to highlight the characters and the story)

Pros:  CGI, Plot, Actors, Production Design, 
Cons:  Long scenes that would bore some people, Similarities of design to other futuristic movies
Overall Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars (At first I though I would have that same formula or a similar plot with previous movies, but it proved me wrong and now I found my self thinking of the scenes again and again)
