It should have been called 'Bleakness'

Rating: 6/10 (17 December 2018)

This movie commits two big mistakes:
1. no good climax
2. no good villain
And then it feels like they didn't want to spend money on backgrounds, and on character development.
The movie's story and visuals are minimal. It's a post-apocalyptic world, but instead of showing elaborate city ruins, it shows dirt. The few ruins that we get to see, are covered in dirt. No post apocalyptic world building, nope. Watch this cardboard "rebel hangar" propped up on a patch of dirt instead!
Very little is happening in the beginning, and that is ok, I can live with that as an introduction, allows me to focus on Tom Cruise's character. But that works only if you're going to give me a lot more of substantial stuff later on!
Nope. Seems that the makers of this movie got no budget left. Tom Cruise ate it!
I can't help but compare Oblivion to 'Mad Max Fury Road'. 'Fury Road' is a post apocalyptic world too, but it has cars and a car worship religion and dudes employing a car related jargon, there's explosions, huge storms, rocky passages, cities in the distance, whence come strange characters with at least a not-boring appearance.
Oblivion is just monotonous dirt.
The world in Mad Max Fury Road affects the story thoroughly. I can feel the characters trapped inside their world.
In Oblivion, the world is made irrelevant, employed only to execute the car chase, I mean, flying vehicle chase.. Twice is Tom Cruise's character chased by boring spherical machines with guns, and of course, robots are dumb, he-he. They don't get him, and I already knew that, because then the story would end, because the movie is about Tom Cruise.
So Oblivion is "Tom Cruise and dirt".
There's many other faults to this movie, but talking about it would be more substantial than the movie itself. So let's jump to the conclusion.
The no good climax is that it has Morgan Freeman in it. And that's a nono.
