Over rated nonsense

Rating: 1/10 (6 April 2014)

Let me start off by saying, I am baffled that this movie is receiving such high reviews or that the fanboys of this film are going completely out of their way to defend it.
So, I recently heard people talking about some indie film called "Moon" that everyone kept comparing to Oblivion. So I went out and bought the Blu-ray and thought, I'll give it a try.
For me this film started out interesting and wham, just like that, fell completely flat on its face once Sam's clone was revealed. I will give the director effort on the story concept (which is still over used imo) however as much as people seem to enjoy Sam Rockwell, his performance was dull and I just couldn't for the life of me relate to his character or even find compassion for his character. Some of the acting was so over the top, it came off as very cheesy. Not to mention the cheap looking space suit that had me cracking up.
Look, I don't care if it was David Bowie's son who directed it or if Kevin Spacey was the voice of GERTY (which sounds like a female's name btw). This film seemed to have a ton of potential until the second act came along. I honestly wanted to turn it off at that point but I had to hold out hope, which to say never happened. I did drag myself to watch it through the end but was sorely disappointed. My wife who was in the room with me looked over and saw my disappointment and said, I'm sorry you wasted $10 on the Blu-ray for this.
Enough said.
If you want a decent sci-fi movie that actually has a story and better concept, well this is why Oblivion is what it is.
