I don't see any connection to scientology in his films. I happen to like most of his films, usually they're entertaining. Oblivion just had a poorly written script. I wanted so much to like it, but alas it failed.
SGG

Not that Oblivion was a total train wreck. I mean, it wasn't Battlefield Earth, but it's getting a bit worn out.
??? Scientology is future based? His films are based on his religion/cult?
I'm not familiar with this (nor really Scientology other than in passing), care to elaborate? Like the relationship between his career, other films made by scientologists?

Is that just impression from trailer, or you know the book/script?
Not sure if Source Code was only lacking due to the lead (was it Jake Gyllenhal?)

I said LOOKS LIKE, and from the trailer, it does.
Why or how that offends anyone, I really don't care.
And I might even go see it now, since I saw Emily Blunt being interviewed.
Wow. She is one frelling cool chick!

Well, I could, but I'd be lying.

Well, they are both centered around a time-loop scenario. The "Groundhog Day" set-up.

I was not offended. I just didn't understand the context or comparison. Was hoping you would enlighten me about what you were referring to.

The only one who was offended is one who always looks for ways to get annoyed by things I say, no matter what.
Tom Cruise, in the future, battling aliens... pretty much what we've seen from him in Oblivion and w/ John Travolta in Battlefield Earth.
Scientology is steep w/ the whole advanced alien stuff in their made up religion. Just figured it was more of his religious based propaganda being passed off as action / sci-fi.
That it DOES involve aliens and the future, hell, that might be close enough for him to have taken the job anyways. Even if it's not connected to scientology.
Same again goes for Will Smith, in his goofy futuristic movie w/ his kid. I don't think it's any coincidence that so many scientology stars end up doing sci-fi movies. Their cult leader was , after all, a sci-fi writer.
