Overly long running and quite boring

Rating: 4/10 (12 June 2016)

Oblivion is a sci-fi film summer blockbuster starring Tom Cruise. The audience there spends two hours in the year 2077 in a post apocalyptic corner of Earth in the company of computer-generated drones, supersize spacecraft and a mechanic who lives in a beautifully designed mansion 3000 feet in the air.
Into the film, we can see that Cruise (Jack Harper) plays the last man on Earth. The film has its tend of storyline plots derivative from other films, where a war between humans and space invaders has left the planet, and the remainder of the race has decamped to a space station. Jack lives with a state-assigned girlfriend Victoria (Andrea Riseborough) and maintains a fleet of machines guarding what's left of the world from further attack.
Although Oblivion is visually stunning (had a major budget gone to use), the film tends to drag on quite a bit and rarely does anything of interest occur It is a slow paced film and for this kind of science fiction film it does not work, in my opinion. Comparing Oblivion to another Tom Cruise sci-fi/action film such Edge of Tomorrow, many can agree that Edge of Tomorrow is far more entertaining, has better writing and is overall a thrilling ride. As a rewatch 10/02/19' Oblivion has great visuals and is well done looking but the story is quite boring and confusing. Not much of interest in its story.
