Science Fiction At Its Best

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 2015)

Upon reading many of the reviews online, I had the sense Oblivion was somewhat of a mediocre movie, at best. Contrarily, what Oblivion represents and captures will appeal to all that is desired in a great cinematic experience, all of which is encompassed within a Science Fiction, post-apocalyptic setting. Seeing the film in theater was an emotionally charged, theatrical roller-coaster. The script, simplistic yet charming and intriguing. The soundtrack, a complimentary masterpiece to the futuristic feel of the time period, yet subtle enough to capture the underlying romance tones represented between the protagonists. It is simply one of the best soundtracks I can recollect, adding immense value and emotional appeal to the experience. I am convinced the overall rating scheme is flawed, Oblivion belongs in the halls of greatest sci-fi cinematic experiences ever.
