Rating: 7/10 (16 April 2013)

Tom Cruise is definitely a legend and one of my favorite actors of all-time. The movie previews to "Oblivion" made me curious and interested in watching this movie. I like this film, because the storyline is unique. Oblivion is a mix between Mel Gibson's film Mad Max – in terms of the isolation, and it also has some similarities with the movie The Matrix in terms of its storyline – without the Matrix martial arts. The lead character Jack is played perfectly by Tom Cruise – as usual. Julia played by Olga Kurylenko and Victoria played Andrea Riseborough are great characters and the actresses that played these roles were outstanding. There is a very interesting love triangle that develops among those three characters which definitely gives this film depth. Beech played by Morgan Freeman has a key role in this film, and Morgan Freeman was brilliant in playing a leader in this Science-Fiction movie.
There is no real down side to this film, because the storyline is written so creatively that it keeps the viewer paying attention to the very end. This exceptional film was written and Directed by Joseph Kosinski. Be advised, this movie is set in the future in 2077 after the destruction of most of mankind so the whole film is in a state of isolation. So if you don't like movies that have isolated towns, cities, or planets than you probably won't like this film. But like I said, the unique storyline is great, the Drones are spectacular, and Tom Cruise played another memorable role – that's what I really liked about this film.
The cinematography is wonderful and the CGI is even better. The Drones are my favorite part of the whole movie – they were innovatively spectacular and they definitely brought all the action to this film – hopefully you'll like them too.
I give "Oblivion" 7 out of 10 Stars
