Shelley B @RT80562264 2d Absolutely fantastic movie! Visually pleasing. And plot is very well written, it's futuristic, and it's just one of those movies you can't help but love! See more Kasey R @RT67705050 5d Most of the criticisms from the career critics are nonsense; the movie was well-paced with a decent payoff and message. I think most of them can't really wrap their heads around soft science fiction that isn't space fantasy like Star Wars or Dune.

It was panned by critics because it expresses real human feeling with a theme of hope. One of my all time favorite comfort films. See more Chris S @Janomi Jun 25 Oblivion is a beautiful science fiction film. Joseph Kosinski creates a sleek, minimalist vision of Earth's future filled with striking architecture, impressive visual effects, and gorgeous cinematography. Every frame feels carefully designed, giving the film a distinctive look that still holds up today. The mystery is equally compelling. The screenplay gradually peels back layer after layer, revealing twists that keep the story engaging even if seasoned sci-fi fans may predict some of the bigger surprises. Tom Cruise gives another dependable lead performance, while Andrea Riseborough and Olga Kurylenko provide strong support as the mystery unfolds. Unfortunately, the world-building often receives more attention than the characters, leaving some emotional moments with less impact than they deserve.

Very enjoyable, have rewatched many times. Don’t listen to the critics and give it a try.

My entry point was M83. A score that was oceanic and synth-driven for a post-apocalyptic science fiction film was a pairing that did not need a trailer to sell itself. And then Tom Cruise. And then Morgan Freeman walks in. And then Jaime Lannister. At some point, you cease to question the casting and allow the film to envelop you. It only clicked when the credits revealed Joseph Kosinski's name. Suddenly everything made sense. You can draw a clean line from Jack Harper chasing drones across a depopulated Earth to Maverick threading a canyon at Mach speed. Oblivion, in hindsight, was a rehearsal. Not the science fiction film it occasionally pretends to be. But as a spectacular, beautifully dressed action film with one of the better scores of the decade, it absolutely delivers.
