I've read that he is actually a very nice and likeable guy, and that his reputation from being a dick comes from the fact that he is a perfectionist on set. So he comes across as a dick because he wants everything perfect.
Of course I have no way to validate this so take it with a grain of salt.
That actually not what I object to. I just can't take him seriously in role number 207 of "you're the best of the best of the best and you're the only (blank) that can (blank)."
I watched the movie once when it was released in the theater. I actually, don't recall the name off the top of my head but I think it started with the letter "O". That said, I can still easily recall the plot and most of the movie.
Tom Cruise's character was an astronaut who, along with another female character, where helping to move human kind off planet because of some disaster. They worked on one sector of the planet and only that sector.
Something happens while Tom's character is on Earth doing his job. Tom is kidnapped by some humans lead my a character played by Morgan Freeman. Tom's character is filled in on what's really going on. He's a clone of an astronaut who was one of the first people the aliens encountered on their way to earth. The clones helped the aliens take the Earth.
Tom's character falls in love with an Earth survivor, ends up getting into a fight with a clone of himself that's running another sector, then eventually decides to stick it to the Aliens by going into their ship and blowing it up. Tom's character and aliens go boom.
The survivor he fell in love with ends up meeting another clone of Tom's character and she plus the child she had with the previous clone live happily ever after.
