Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Movie Review: "Oblivion" (2013)Fully-received as original storyboards by director Joseph Kosinski in shape of a splenidly-outlined graphic novel, attracting Tom Cruise spending summer of 2012 to play out as patrolling clone soldier on deserted "Planet Earth" as science-fiction action scenes seem to amaze in high-gloss detail, especially in a massively thrilling drone attack scene.Supports as actor Morgan Freeman and Olga Kurylenko have easy play in an well-crafted screenplay in favors for a Universal Picture quality April 2013 release, unfortunately not appreciated enough by U.S. American audience, who have the chance to experience this truly moving science-fiction movie now on VOD.Cinemajesty Entertainments 2018
Really good plot, script and performance. The film ensures the audience amazing, entertaining story, comfilled with the visual effects on good level. The thrill of this movie deserves admirations.
Honestly, I do believe this is supremely underrated. Now I know I will be in the minority with my opinion, and that's perfectly fine. After all, I gave "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" a solid nine (loooove it). Anyway, in a ravaged and desolate futuristic Earth a tech team are stationed on the planet to ensure hydro rigs are fully operational before being sent to Titan where humanity currently resides. However, they must battle against "Scavengers" who set out to destroy these rigs and droids. Why? What could possibly be the reason? Well...stay away from the hideous trailer, unfortunately it reveals far too much. So aside from the hideous marketing, this film is incredible. I've seen it a good twenty times and never get bored. Again, I know most of you will disagree with me...but all the ingredients for a thinking sci-fi are there and unequivocally are blended to make a memorable film. This is two for two for director Joseph Kosinski as far as I'm concerned. "Tron: Legacy" is a personal favourite, and so is this. He makes visual audio experiences. The visual effects here are gorgeous, from the clean white architecture to the desolate horizon. Everything looked outstanding, particularly the interior of 'The Tet'. Then we come to M83's soundtrack which is an entrancing piece of synthesised electronic goodness. The two technical aspects compliment each other so well to create, not just a film, but an experience. You guys know me by now, I will always have a soft spot for technically accomplished films. The acting is slightly monotonous, but it works for the environment that they are in. Andrea Riseborough is a personal favourite of mine, she's damn good in everything. The story has plenty of twists and turns, particularly when breaching the Radiation Zone. A few scenes of exposition and narration but not enough to become a detriment to the narrative. Like I said, I'm in the minority...and I don't care, I love this film.
spoiler warning. 'Ideal' man (Cruise) and woman (Riseborough) live in a house in the sky. They have the job to repair the damage of rogue attacks on the water supplies of the massive spaceship that has saved surviving humans. So far so good, man goes out to do dangerous work, comes home and has sex with beautiful woman. So far so good, it's recognizable for brave soldiers and for the kids this film aims for. Only in Oblivion it's not a 4 months mission in the sand, it is an everyday happening. Danger and reward,all of it.An accident happens and Cruise takes back home another beautiful woman (Kurylenko). The soldiers and even the kids in the audience know: TROUBLE.Director of Photography Claudio Miranda photographed some very good films 'Benjamin Button', 'Life of Pi' and nothing is wrong with the photography in 'Oblivion'. Wrong are the many chiche's, wrong is the production that lays to much emphasis on effects, wrong is production design to slick, wrong in the end is the story that generates all the cliche's that are duly amplified by its main male antagonists turned protagonists played by Cruise and Freeman.
