A Visual Delight!

Rating: 6/10 (7 August 2013)

Joseph Kosinski's 'Oblivion' is a visual delight, that offers some of the most stunning images you'd see on celluloid. Also, the action-sequences are remarkable!
'Oblivion' Synopsis: A veteran assigned to extract Earth's remaining resources begins to question what he knows about his mission and himself.
'Oblivion' falters in the Writing department. Kosinski, Karl Gajdusek & Michael Arndt's Screenplay is thin & snail-paced. It does have its share of intriguing moments, but somewhere, the desired impact, as a whole of a Screenplay, is missing. Kosinski's Direction, however, is amazing. Each and Every Frame has been worked on & the immense handwork reflects on-screen throughout. Visually, I haven't seen a film as stunning as 'Oblivion' is a really long time. Its so beautifully made, that I was awed by its visuals. Even the action-sequences, as mentioned before, are remarkable. Cinematography is grand. Editing is pretty sharp. Art & Costume Design are extra-ordinary.
Performance-Wise: Tom Cruise is first-rate. He plays the troubled Commander with rare ease. Andrea Riseborough is highly efficient. Olga Kurylenko is perfect. Morgan Freeman leaves a mark. Melissa Leo is fair.
On the whole, 'Oblivion' should be watched for its masterful visuals.
