Much of the film was rehashed from Cruise and Kosinki's earlier, and far superior, film "Oblivion".
Looking forward to the next M:I installments and anything from Kosinksi with a decent script.

I agree with everything you say—especially about Oblivion!—except I think Cruise is extraordinary in the film.
