Clever And Well-Acted,

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2013)

Oblivion is a great movie with a well developed plot and an impressive cast. It's an amazing spectacle which is one of the highlights, it clearly did not rely too much on green screens, building sets and taking the cast out in to real landscapes, which is much more effective than an abundance of CGI. However, the plot was very convoluted at times, I understand it's a Sci-Fi, but it got very carried away with itself, the twist towards the end is very much like an episode of the Twilight Zone, although it delivers more confusion than shock and awe for the audience. The cast is terrific, Tom Cruise shines in the lead role, managing to swiftly convey the emotions of this complicated character, he also shares great chemistry with Olga Kurylenko and Andrea Riseborough, throwing Morgan Freeman in to the mix only adds to the top notch performances. While the ending raises more questions than it does answer, Oblivion is an enjoyable movie with a stellar cast and a beautiful spectacle, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good adventure or Sci- Fi.
Jack Harper is sent out to find the remaining resources left on a now empty Earth, but he soon learns some things about his past.
Best Performance: Tom Cruise
