Woeful. I wish Gilderoy Lockhart would use "oblivion" on me so I can forget this movie

Rating: 2/10 (15 April 2013)

Oblivion 2/10 If someone asked me what the story line of oblivion is like I would reply "Take a big dump and stare at it for two hours" because that pretty much is the essence of this movie. Very long, bland and very predictable. There are vast parts containing absolutely nothing, and when stuff does happen its very dull and unoriginal.
Moving on,this exceedingly unsurprising film, is that you could see that right from the start where it was heading and what exactly is going to happen. The so called "SCAVs" were humans in disguise which wasn't a surprise at all. Cruise's character had been brain washed due to a "mandatory memory wipe." which wasn't very surprising at all. The one thing that I didn't see coming was that Cruise's character was a clone, and that wasn't a very effective twist at all. Acting wasn't anything special. Cruise tried his best but in my opinion fueled my view on him as being a very over rated star. And as for Kurylenko I feel that she is also an over rated actress who seems to just be a pretty Russian/Ukrainian actress. Lots of questions were left unanswered. There were continuity errors with gravity. His Elvis bobble head figure should have been floating around when he was in space. And how the hell did the flight recorder that proved so vital in the story's progression end up on earth when Cruise didn't even put it in the part of the ship he ejected before entering the alien space ship. A very poor idea, poorly executed, but annoyingly well advertised. How this movie got that much of a budget for all its advertisements and effects is criminal. I think this film will flop, and flop bad which is what it quite frankly deserves. Don't go and see it.
