plot poor and confusing film.

Rating: Null/10 (24 June 2014)

*Spoiler/plot- Oblivion, 2013. In 2077, the human, Jack Harper works with his companion, Victoria ("Vic") on a Earth surveillance station. Jack repairs many robotic drones patrolling the planet looking for 'scavs' but Jack's memory was erased as part of the security process to stay on Earth. He only knows that Earth is completely depleted after sixty years of nuclear war against the alien invaders, Scavengers "Scavs". The aliens have destroyed the moon and were defeated by nuclear weapons but the earthlings have moved to Jupiter's moon, Titan since the planet was completely destroyed by warfare. Now Jack has to protect the power stations that use the ocean to supply energy to Titan by fixing the drones patrolling the wastes. He also has memories of a mysterious woman at the Empire State Building when Earth was habitable. Jack and Vic receive instructions from robotic overseer 'Sally', who is located on the space station Tet. And Vic is anxious to leave Earth in two weeks to join the survivors on Titan. However, Jack has a rural cabin made of remnants of the old Earth society in a secret place where he likes to stay alone and enjoy the pleasures of the rural Earth. When the ancient spacecraft 'Odyssey' crashes back on Earth, Jack witnesses the drones killing the human crew but he rescues a woman, Julia, who is the woman of his dream recollections. Julia and Jack recover the flight recorder but they are captured by the Scavengers that are NOT aliens. Soon they learn that the Scavs are actually a group of surviving humans, who tell Jack that the invasion was a lie by the robotic overseers. Jack does not believe them, and they release Julia and Jack into the radiation zone to find the truth.
*Special Stars- Tom Cruise, MOrgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko.
*Theme- Big brother overseer is evil and doesn't have your best interest at heart.
*Trivia/location/goofs- Color. Some of the waste lands of Utah were used for this film.
*Emotion- A visually rich, but plot poor and confusing film plot again brought by courtesy of Tom Cruise. He seems to be in a 'rut' about such tales of the future desolated Earth from Human actions. A depressing film with little action or adventure to lighten the mood. Utterly forgettable or unremarkable. Could be confused with many other dark films dealing with this Earth future. A shame.
*Based on- Modern futuristic Progressive thinker scenarios.
