How long since we have a pure, 80's style Science Fiction Movie that doesn't suck? And with Tom Cruise in it, how can it be if not irresistible, unwatchable? Oblivion is a really good movie. Unfortunately, for the irony of the title, it will probably be "forgotten in time".
Joseph Kosinki, director of the likeable but little exciting Tron Legacy, has made its comeback with the story of Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) who works on an uninhabitable world along with her partner Vika (Andrea Risiborough). He is supposed to finish his job and then go to live with the rest of the human race in a moon in Jupiter, but it ain't so easy, as once he finds Julia (Olga Kuryelenko), a human whose spaceship crashed on earth, everything will change.
How interesting the story is, to beggin with? It is interesting enough to drag you into the cinema. Oblivion is Popcorn fun, with a plot that has many twists and turns but a lack of execution. Some secuences are pretty stupid, the characters are pretty stupid, and specially the things they do are pretty stupid. Guess they wanted to "Get stupid"?
The script of Oblivion will no live up to the heights of any sci-fi goer, or any normal cinema audience member. It is a little bit louzy, specially at the ending where Oblivion shows most of its flaws. Dissapointing final encounters and conclussions are present, even though I'm not thinking on spoiling them.
Though the plot is faulty, Oblivion has still a great audiovisual flare: 80's style epic soundtrack mixed with over-the-top visual effects that recreate glimpses of after earth that are just breathtaking. You may find it overwhelming at times, but never awful or unnecessary. If you can watch it on Imax, better. Tom Cruise is also a positive. He does a really good job. He ain't badass or goodass, just a normal guy. And, even though his character is a little bit weird at times, Cruise pulls it off as the star he is. And does he looks good!
Overall, Oblivion is a delight for the senses but weak for the mind. An anticipated summer you may be able to enjoy if you don't go expecting a new Avatar or Star Wars, but some refreshing original content in a time where the prequel and the remake are the king and queen of tintseltown.

The Impossible is one of this year's best movies...enough said. To begin with, I'd recommend knowing where are you heading for when watching this movie. I mean, this movie is a must, but it's also one of the most intense experiences I've ever lived. This movie demands to be seen on a cinema. A good cinema, with powerful speakers and a big screen to really get into the movie. For example, on the first 3 or 4 minutes of the movie, the screen is dark and you only can hear a horrifying sound that will knock your socks off. And the tsunami stuff hasn't happened yet. When it happens, you will watch one of the most detailed disaster productions Hollywood ever made. It's incredibly filmed, and beautifully filmed (Director J.A Bayona shines in this movie). The performances are amazing, from the fearless Naomi Watts to the young but talented Tom Holland. The only bad thing of the movie was the constant emotional manipulation. The story (A family holiday gets interrupted by one of the worst natural disasters in history, and a family of 5 do the impossible as they reunite after that awful catastrophe) aims to be one of those "emotional genre" movies, where you know you'll cry like a little b****. Well, that may be the first 200 times. The other 500 times it gets kind of lame, and all that emotional stuff seem like a joke. Don't get me wrong, I cried, but then it got repetitive, and it didn't gave me the buzz. It's sad that the movie wasn't recognized more by the academy. The performances, the direction, the movie itself it's awesome. Naomi Watts is not enough to justify what a brilliant and exhilarating experience it is. Go see this movie and you'll see what I am talking about.

I may not be the perfect judge of this movie as I haven't seen the last 20 minutes or so, but Lincoln still has that oscar feeling to it that it was unevitable to not like it. The story centers on Abraham Lincoln (Played by a fantastic Daniel Day-Lewis) and his efforts to abolish slavery by passing the Thirteenth Amendment. This movie is one of those typical Oscar movies about history. It has incredible performances (Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones) but also has heart, as Lincoln mixes both the presidential and prestigious side of the man we all know, and his personal life, his relationships and his family life. Although, before seeing Lincoln, I'd recommend doing some research about the subject, especially if you don't know much about Lincoln's presidential mandate and what he has done. Yeah, maybe I'm being a little bit ignorant about this great american figure, but to get the thousands of references this movie has, it's really useful a little of information. Also, you must be interested in the story to enjoy the 2-and-a-half hours this movie proudly exhibits. This movie is a real talkie, talking during the whole movie. Tony Kushner's script makes it really enjoyable, between memorable quotes, anecdotes and some dark humour. Indeed, the movie will be slow if you know nothing about what they're talking about or you watch it just to know what's all the hype about but you're not really interested in Lincoln's efforts to finish slavery. You will, though, immediately be seduced by the performances, that is one of Lincoln's strongest pillars and makes it a powerful, historical drama and one of the best Spielberg movies from this time.

Pixar and Brad Bird is like Eggs and Bacon...Always good together. The Incredibles is one of my favourite animated movies ever, as it was outstandingly funny and and human, and I even rated it 5 stars because I simply loved it. Ratatouille, in the other hand, is a totally different movie. Yes, from superheroes we go to a rat desperate to be not appreciated as a rat but as a cook, and what better city to place the story in than Paris. But not all is delicious in Ratatouille. Well, at least not for me. Ratatouille for me was pretty much heavy, slightly boring and even though it made me giggled sometimes, it lacked of fun, but was filled with magic. As many people, I love to eat and to cook, so this movie is really inspiring to me. But when they talk to me about Pixar, I imagine something delightful, full of fun and some intense drama included. Ratatouille has some emotional moments, but does not feel at any moment as a truly Pixar movie, except maybe for the originality of the plot. Ans also, while Pixar mainly focuses on the whole family, I felt Ratatouille had a more kiddy target audience, like Cars, but the theme of the movie is a little bit too grown-up for kids. So, in those terms, Cars may be a much organized movie, only that slightly worse. So, it dissapointed me. Ratatouille for me is a one night stand, but I think it's both too long and tiring to watch it again. Unfortunately, Ratatouille was bland.

Insidious is a really interesting movie. I personally like paranormal horror movies, and I love the Paranormal Activity saga, except for the last movie. And even though James Wan directed and wrote Saw and Dead Silence (I don't like any of them), he also was a writer in the outstanding TV Series American Horror Story, that presents lots of similarities with Insidious, a movie about a haunted house, or a haunted child, or a haunted life...Insidious keeps the tension until the very end in a dissapointing but at least tollerable conclussion. The atmosphere is amazing. This movie really haunts your dreams even though it may not scare you as much in the moment as it gets to you later. Indeed, Insidious benefits also from James Wan who really keeps the scares into a non-stop pace. But although the atmosphere is good, the special effects and make up aren't so inspiring. Insidious has poor visuals, as the movie lacks of a big budget but a terrible ambitious story. Also, there are lots of fails in the making of the creatures. They seem unreal, you can see mask, flaws in the costumes. That damages the inspired atmosphere and also James Wan's attempts to keep the movie going. Also, there are several jumpscares going on. Oh, your heart won't stop. This movie is compared to Poltergeist, despite similarities, because how scary it is. Insidious is scary, and I enjoyed watching it. Sometimes I wanted to clos my eyes but I didn't want to loose a thing. The plot is so well crafted is difficult not to immerse in the story since the very beggining. So I would recommend it if they ask me "Is there any good Horror movie from nowadays?".
