Was I lost in Oblivion?

Rating: 7/10 (30 April 2013)

The Oblivion was the second movie I watched yesterday.I must not say I was eager but I was curious as frankly put, it looked good on trailer! Its not the first time Tom Cruise has starred in an alien Sci-FI if Minority Report (2002) and war of the worlds(2005) come to mind but as a drone repair man in a post apocalyptic earth I wanted to see what he could genuinely offer to the movie.
Joseph Kolsinski who directed the Tron Legacy which I really enjoyed directed this, however I have to admit the plot to this movie was not always coherent ,for starters I could not figure out if the "Scavengers" were android robots in the beginning or rebel sophisticated advanced earthlings who were the antagonists in the plot ,secondly the flash blacks to his previous life before his memory was erased even made it more dumbfounding. A bit confusing there and there as I saw his clone protégé and wondered what has two "Jack Harpers" got to do with the movie.Morgan Freeman on my part saved the movie from its total collapse as I was able to then link the pieces together and understand how all the characters were intertwined. The ending was like any other ending with striking resemblance to the I robot and hellraiser 4 where the villain self destructs in an ever ending inferno.
I will have to give this movie a worthy 7/10 ,even though I was highly critical it did have good visual and CGI effects to keep me going and no pun intended push me into a state of oblivion
