Opening sequence draws criticism

The film's introduction features Tom Cruise in grotesque prosthetics and an extended character setup. Critics describe this opening as shrill and tired while noting the actor screams directly at the camera.

Cast performance receives praise

Tom Cruise leads the cast with energetic acting that keeps the proceedings moving forward. Director Alejandro G. Iñárritu and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki are credited for injecting swagger into the visual presentation.

Plot centers on climate disaster

The story follows an oilman who learns his company may have caused a global environmental catastrophe. The narrative avoids boredom even as the film struggles with clichéd character elements and caricatures.
