Oblivion, a movie to forget.

Rating: 3/10 (16 April 2013)

I was very excited about this title. The teaser was just perfect. I mean, come on, you see Morgan Freeman's face on the light of a mist asking you "Do you want to know the truth?" with his Morgan Freeman voice, you can't just say no to that. Plus Tom Cruise has involved himself into awesome Sci-fi titles such as Minority Report, this was promising. I knew it was the same guy who remade Tron who did this, but I thought maybe he had learned from his mistakes and did something good here. Sadly, the teaser was much better that the movie itself.
The film is extremely anti-climatic. It is almost an insult to the Sci-fi genre. I have to admit that the kinematics are well executed. The tension and suspense is also well executed. The acting is top notch. The plot is awful and the "moral of the story" is non-existent clichÃ©-like garbage.
This movie is a major disappointment. It doesn't bare any opinion. It is not entertaining and it is not a deep thought experiment either. It is just pictures and sound. I'm really disappointed, and so will be you if you, like me, expect this to be the awesome movie it could have been.
What is a good movie for me, you might ask. Well a movie where I can ask "What was the point?" at the end and answer. This movie has no point. Maybe some little thoughts in the first half, known ideas, and that's all.
***SPOILERS COME FROM NOW ON*** I feel that I have to justify why am I so harsh. It's been a while since I haven't seen a good Sci-fi movie, and I'm sad to see how this attempt was ruined by god knows what.
The plot just leads to nowhere. The premise gets ruined by every plot turn. I still had hope that in the end, I had hope that in the last minute they would tell me what was the point of the movie, what were the author trying to tell the world with this... but no.
I recovered hope when that alien thing let Cruise in when he told the truth. That alien thing is either retarded or too smart, I was thinking, "yes, this is the moment when we have the major conversation that explains the film". But no! Wow!! The robot-alien-whatever doesn't say anything, it is neither wise nor stupid nor... it just shouts I'M YOUR GOD, GTFO and Cruise is like "screw you" and blows everything up. 2 hours I waited to see how would the author of this piece use aliens to analyze mankind or to analyze life or to anything at all, but no. Just blow up the bloody place. And they they had sex and had children and the end. How primitive is that? I left the theater disappointed and tricked once again. When will there be a good Sci-fi blockbuster again? My hope won't die. Don't waste your time on this tho. It creates more negative thoughts and emotions than it does entertain or teach.
