Sorry, nothing new here! Just hacking! Wall-E said it much better!

Jesus Christ, Joseph Kosinski! What are you doing with your career, man? I mean, OK, Tron Legacy is not a great, great movie, not even close, but it's at least a respectable one! I like it! I could care for the characters on Tron and the soundtrack was original, the story was gripping, emotional at times, the effects were awesome and calls for your attention, Tron Legacy kept me at the edge of my seat so I even bought the movie for crying out loud! It was a good movie.
Here in Oblivion we don't have anything! Or maybe I should say we have too much but nothing at the same time!
OK, let me give you an idea of this: take the Wall-E plot made poorly, put a mix of The Dark Knight and Inception from Christopher Nolan as a soundtrack, with tiny bits of special sound effects from 2001 A Space Odyssey, steal concepts like Hal-9000 and the Monolith from 2001 again, Michael Bay it all the way (or you can also say, add some excrement to the mix) with famous actors like Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman to give it some credibility, render it all with astonishing special effects with unoriginal concepts, have a payoff that basically copies Moon from Duncan Jones and you have... Oblivion!
Yes, it's a HACK! It's all about hacking famous and well developed concepts and turn this collage into a movie!
To (not) add up, the characters are forgettable, the dialogue is atrocious and clichéd to death and... no, that's all you have! This sums up pretty well the movie.
Of course, the visual effects are stunning, but again, it doesn't add up!
Tom Cruise, man, honestly... fire your agent immediately! Find one that gives you better opportunities to pick up great movies that really gives you the chance to show us your real potential, dude!
Are you curious with this movie? OK, so wait until this one comes out on TV, download it, or maybe, wait for it on Netflix. But be warned: this is a complete hack. Nothing more.
