7.0

Entertaining enough fantasy-adventure doesn't offer a whole lot in terms of character development and I'm not entirely sure Tom Cruise was right for that role, but it was okay and the production design and prosthetics were impressive. Kind of an oddity as a Ridley Scott film, felt more like somethin ... g Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard or even Robert Zemeckis would've directed. **3.5/5**
