The movie is OK. But not better than that.

Rating: 6/10 (19 April 2013)

SPOILERS. Look away now if you haven't seen it yet.
Overall I agree with my friends. This film is OK. A bit long. A bit derivative. The thing that stands out is the premise: The good guys are a bunch of freedom fighters, living in caves in a desert created by laying waste to the planet, being hunted by killer drones sent by a faceless imperialist power that is only interested in stripping resources, and uses their own kind against them.
Hmmm. This is a bit familiar. Disturbingly the freedom fighters win the battle by nuking the multinational-corporation, um, I mean alien robots. Ironic? Or what?
Kind of derivative. Acting a bit minimalist - can never tell whether intention or not in Hollywood. On the other hand the twist in the tail was done reasonably well.
Saturn's moon an unlikely destination for humanity - Jupiter is a lot closer. Not to mention Mars! At one point Jack 49 is shot in the chest, but not apparently injured. No further reference is made to this. What happened?
Oblivion = Moon + Independence Day + The (real life) War in Afghanistan.
