Movie Review: Oblivion

 

 

Directed by: Joseph Kosinski

Starring:

Tom Cruise as Jack Harper

Morgan Freeman as Malcolm Beach

Futuristic as it may seem since the movie is set on earth in the year 2077. Such as long time from twenty-thirteen right? And another movie where Tom Cruise' character is named Jack just like in his 2012 film Jack Reacher HAHA. I honestly never liked any Tom Cruise movie. They all seem to be... corny and bland. Yes he is pretty good at being an action star. He was good in The Last Samurai and his film with Cameron Diaz Knight and Day but as an actor for me, he is not that great but just o k.

I honestly had a hard time understanding the film because it lacked giving some information like what were their aims??? Like seriously I do not usually have a hard time understanding movies and it is a rare case when that happens but with this movie, my mind was in a whirlpool trying to understand the story. But I tried my best on understanding it and I would really want to watch it another time not because I loved it or something but for me to go back to some of the scenes to fully understand the story. And if you do watch it, I bet you would want to watch it twice or even thrice to understand the story.

The movie is a futuristic one where there was an invasion not really sure if it were aliens but there was a war between humans and 'aliens' but in the end the humans won but the earth was ruined due to the war they were in. So they had to rehabilitate the earth but it was not possible due to the immense damage that has been done to the planet so they had to live in a different one. What they are doing now is using up the sea water that goes through some mechanism that is turned in to something that they vitally need in order to live in Saturn (?). But then the twist comes in like is this really for the humans or what? There's something fishy going on when a blast comes in and Jack Harper goes in and checks it and secrets are revealed and that is when the real action begins.

If someone were to watch it for the first time I am definitely telling people not spending that much money for this kinda long weird mind boggling movie. Just wait for it to be shown on HBO or Star Movies or wherever HA HA

Star Rating:  5 ☆☆☆☆☆ out of 10 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
