Very good Sci-Fi Movie

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2013)

Oblivion is a refreshing addition to the Sci-Fi realm. The story is fantastic and it's backed by a great cast. This film was way better than I expected going in. It features some of the best visual effects I have seen in a long time, but it doesn't sacrifice character development or a good story in the process. Oblivion feels like a much more complete movie than the director's last effort, Tron: Legacy, which was pretty much just eye candy. The musical score is also a thing of beauty.
Tom Cruise, who is a heartthrob to me, can more than hold his own on screen. Morgan Freeman is always good, even in a tiny role like this. The two female leads also do a good job.
The story does get a little confusing from time to time and some of the twists were a bit obvious, but all in all a great viewing experience. I will surely be adding this one to my blu-ray collection. I highly recommend this one for Sci-Fi fans.
