An Intelligent Sci/fi Movie

Rating: 6/10 (9 January 2014)

Ciaran's Review: Initially i did not like Oblivion for one reason- Tom Cruise. But after watching the movie for a second time and thinking about the film's story, i realised i really enjoyed the movie. The CGI in Oblivion is beautiful, the story intelligent and the acting is great. I enjoyed the twists and turns, i did not see the twist in the middle of the movie coming, but it was only obvious the second time watching the movie. Oblivion in my opinion was more enjoyable to watch than Elysium, although i enjoyed Elysium's villain more. Overall i think Oblivion is enjoyable but needs to be watched twice- at some points i felt the movie could drag on and i personally can't stand 'fading to black transitions'. Oblivion 8/10
