oblivion
A veteran assigned to extract Earth's remaining resources begins to question what he knows about his mission and himself.
Oblivion doesn't have anything new to offer. It feels like a collection of far superior science fiction movies mashed together. The story of Oblivion is that humans have evacuated from the planet and Tom Cruise is stuck on Earth, clean up after an alien invasion that destroyed all life. Kinda reminds me of Wall.E. Tom Cruise gives a decent performance. There's really no other actors that stand out, except for Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman is soo underused and I wanted his character to be more involved. The pacing is way too slow. too much talking and not enough action. I will say, the special effects in this are spectacular. The drones sort of look like the HAL-9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Also the cinematography was done by Jeff Cronenweth, who did Fight Club, The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Overall, Oblivion has impressive special effects and striking visuals, but lacks depth and originality.
