Cruise turns 62 today, which seems almost as crazy as the above statement.
Below, weve got our ranking of Cruises sci-fi/fantasy films, with a few surprises along the way.
The Mummy (2017)
Ooo boy.

We could write encyclopedias about everything that went wrong with The Mummy andhave come close already.
A dark universe, indeed.
Legend (1985)
Honestly, The Mummy is the only bad Tom Cruise sci-fi movie.
Legend is actually pretty good, just maybe a little less so than the films above it.
Ridley Scott directs the sweeping fantasy best known for Tim Currys unforgettable character, Darkness.
Not an easy movie to watch or digest, but a memorable one nevertheless.
One of those movies only Tom Cruise could do.
Oblivion (2013)
I honestly kind of love Oblivion.
Wells novel about a father protecting his children during an alien invasion.
But it does exist and its great.
Wewrote a ton more about it here.
Cruise shines along with co-star Emily Blunt and were still holding out hope that a sequel happens.
But the MI movies are great and,well…6-1-4-3-5-7-2.
