Hope for Sci-Fi

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2014)

Oblivion was one of those films, that went below my radar, and it wasn't until I saw it on a streaming service, that I thought this might be good, and it is.
You can read the synopsis here on IMDb, but the story is not new and it's been seen before.
However, this movie consists of beautiful images - a visual impact, that is so clean - so crisp. You get the sense that everything is controlled in this wasteland on earth, through the perfect imagery. It is the camera here that tells the story - not dialog.
The soundtrack is downright gorgeous and supports that subtle feeling this movie has.
I love that sci-fi is slowly returning, where the real notion of scientific-fiction is taken seriously. Oblivion is one of those movies, in line with Prometheus and Moon.
I rank this movie 8/10, while not breaking new grounds, it is visually stunning, all the actors deliver, the soundtrack is one of the best I've listened to in a long time!
