2001: A Space Oblivion

Rating: 7/10 (1 May 2013)

Oblivion's post-apocalyptic world is extremely nice to look at. There are deserted landscapes, beautiful futuristic buildings and drones and spaceships of an advanced technology. The direction isn't special apart from some crazy zooms. It's obvious that the director has seen 2001: A Space Oddyssey more than once.
Tom Cruise delivers a very solid performance, although he doesn't do a whole lot more than being Tom Cruise. The catchy one-liners that he utters are cringe-worthy though.
The plot takes some unexpected turns that you wouldn't expect from a Tom Cruise feature. All in all it's a very enjoyable pre-summer Sci-Fi movie.
