A Sci-Fi movie that fails to give you science or fiction......

Rating: 5/10 (3 August 2013)

A good sci-fi movie should have one of these: i)It gives you enough details to satisfy your thirst or ii)It gives you enough elements to satisfy your thirst for imagination and leaves the rest to you. Unfortunately, Oblivion fails to do either of that.
Why is that? It is because of the very weak plot that contains almost no background history and results in complete disappointment. I mean, seriously, a movie of this budget should not be of this class. If anything, I noticed the romance of this movie to be far more superior than the actual story. So, you may as well treat it like a romantic movie rather than science fiction.
Another major flaw of this movie is that it lacks complete originality. Not that copying ideas is a sin, but building an entire movie that has every foundation taken from somewhere else is surely a sign of great weakness.
To make matters worse, the talented actors/actresses of this movie have not done a satisfactory job either. Also, the movie has a childish like ending that does not follow a strong logic. If a machine is capable of taking down the whole civilization of earth, it shouldn't be dumb enough to fall for such parlor tricks.
Well, there is still some good sides though - like the visual. The visual is absolutely stunning and much more realistic than we get to see. The details are just perfect. While the score is not something you will call very good but it does its job. Finally, if liked 'Tron Legacy' you'll probably find it watch worthy but those who didn't, like me, don't go for it.
In a nut shell, not even close to an enjoying movie, a time passing one maybe when have nothing else. Such a waste of a very good technology.
