worth fighting for

Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2014)

Sci-fi as a genre tends to repeat or plunder itself from Jules Verne to Isaac Asimov to Arthur C Clarke the same themes reoccur questioning mans place on Earth and in the known universe. I missed Oblivion at the multiplex because I believed a critic when they said it had nothing new to offer. But on viewing the Blu-ray version at home alone with no distractions I was able to glean that this was an excellent movie premise with good plot twists . Yes I've seen Moon and other sci-fi this movie /graphic novel adaptation borrows from but what I came away with was what its like to want to be and remain human.. and how love of another person or the earth itself can reinforce your humanity. I hope that Universal eventually recoups the $120,000,000 spent getting this to the screen( $84,000,000 gathered so far ) and the movie gets the following it deserves and remember... its no John Carter of Mars !!
