Into Oblivion

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2013)

This is a fantastic example of old school sci-fi. The look is mind blowing and the soundtrack a delight. This was a film that really stuck with me for a few days after watching it which, for me is a sign of a classic.
Cruise does what he does best and carries the key role well. He is ably assisted by the other cast members but the win goes to Freeman. His understated performance hit the right note for a film of this size and scope. The story twists at a nice pace and the action is not over-extended. All in all, this is a fine film and a future benchmark for the genre.
This being Kosinsky's second film he must be praised for a work so detailed and entertaining. Better than Tron Legacy and a new marker in his journey in Hollywood. I for one will be keeping an eye on his future projects.
Oblivion won't win loads of awards but it will stick in your mind and give you a sense of what good sci-fi looks like. Go see it.
