Complete oblivion

Rating: 5/10 (23 July 2013)

This is a hodgepodge of various sci-fi movies, with a big name star to draw audiences.
"Oblivion" copies from the recent movie "Moon" perhaps more than any other. Parts of the plot are shamefully ripped off.
The storyline is entirely predictable. We've seen it a thousand times by now. As other reviewers have pointed out, it's also quite confusing.
The lead actress is somewhat creepy. Tom Cruise does a nominal job in the lead role. The visual design is quite good, as is typical for this kind of movie. It's a shame that story writing isn't as straightforward as designing the afterburner of a space ship.
The biggest problem with Oblivion is the predictable story, and especially the ending. The movie itself also seems too long. Probably because it's boring.
Tom Cruise's final blockbuster?
