<p>I liked the movie it had some nice cinematography (some masterful shots, including the cameras continuous swing around the car while driving on the highway [which btw is another plot hole, how could they can down the highway so easily?]), good acting (I'll give it to Cruise, his acted his heart out, not that someone else couldn't have done it), the most incredible special effects of recent times, some very well choreographed crowd sequences (which I never think are done well in movies of this type, like in Independence Day everybody is staring and no one running away c'mon let's get some different reactions here, Thanks Spielberg for some realism even if it involved some electronics that shouldn't work), and finally a disaster movie that isn't just Slam-Bang-Crash but actually cares about the victims (is there anything more stupid in Independence Day than when the dog jumps past the fireball while thousands perish in the background).</p>
<p>So the movie wasn't perfect and I think so many here are more disappointed than they should be b/c the movie could have been so much more. It could have been masterful but instead was so-so.</p>
<p>A last point about the food. Maybe Tom didn't want to resort to using the wife's things b/c he wanted to show his independence (that he could take care of them) in front of the kids (which by the way are a little ungrateful for him saving their asses at the beginning but truama and past issues maybe so I'll let that one slip) but the movie proves that he is still failing at being a good dad b/c he had no food and amongst other things.</p>
