Thought provoking Sci Fi with twists

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2013)

I went into "Oblivion" blindly thinking it was a run of the mill post apocalyptic feature with gorgeous visuals but little in the way of true substance.
I was completely wrong! While this film does boast it's fair share of visual effects it also has a solid and thought provoking storyline with plenty of twists and turns.
Tom Cruise once again proves that he can present engrossing characters into his 50's. Morgan Freeman also has a small but important role in the film. The characters meshed well and brought the story to life without taking from it. Sometimes I will watch films and be more interested in the star than the character they're portraying but I was too mentally "in" the film to let my mind drift.
If someone is looking for a good Sci Fi/thriller/mystery I would definitely recommend this film for two good full hours of entertainment.
