Nice effects though.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A suitable explanation to the sci effects of driving through a world that is drugged. The population on earth is billions; without medical attention are poor countries who often are bellow the poverty line because of 'no good reason' colonization. A different approach to the climatic struggle that the western hemisphere is to undergo is the struggle for humanity because of global warming: it was us who created energy or fire but it won't be us to reclaim it. Then the struggle here is not human because it goes passed us in seeds by human love or sexually which in the end of humanity would be counter apocalyptic. A Sci fi movie or a movie in the future holds humans in sexual situations that are absurd with counter productive results: the humans after we are dead might look at our sexual innuendos as to the last of us. The humanity in the movie is strong like a episode in life that can be found if consumers outlive the consumed vegetables and fruits. Eating fruits brings life but vegetables leads to growth: scientific truth that both 'Morgan Freeman and Tom Cruise' accept before the war against us is over. Then people viewers who see life against their medical situations might be blocked or considered 'not allowed'. Poor people or from the third world nations: belong to the English language under the democratic rules of their country but grammatically this viewing like a game of chess would be called absurd because the present leads to the future and so apocalypse is the moment that life does not return to us.

This movie is really good in almost every way. CGI and other effects make the whole thing look really beautiful. Tom Cruise is way underrated as an actor, and most of this movie's haters are just Tom Cruise haters. The musical scores were really cool as well, and the action scenes were thrilling and fun. But in fact suffers from the same flaw as Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. That problem is the plot. It's a big over complicated, and at times, poorly explained. The movie can be pretty confusing, but once you make sense of it, you realize just how creative and well done it is. The problem is figuring out what the plot is.

A scientific possibility: immortality Concerning this point, immortality; aside from the ancient myth about the fountain of youth, it seems that the "start trick" script writers during the sixties still have the edge over the recent ones, although the movie, oblivion, include science fiction, however, it insist on the point that everybody dies, and they should die well, so; if you are inquiring about the inspiration of the suicide bombers, then there is your answer..!...don't blame it all on the Qur'an; there are scripts that do that either...

spoiler warning. 'Ideal' man (Cruise) and woman (Riseborough) live in a house in the sky. They have the job to repair the damage of rogue attacks on the water supplies of the massive spaceship that has saved surviving humans. So far so good, man goes out to do dangerous work, comes home and has sex with beautiful woman. So far so good, it's recognizable for brave soldiers and for the kids this film aims for. Only in Oblivion it's not a 4 months mission in the sand, it is an everyday happening. Danger and reward,all of it.An accident happens and Cruise takes back home another beautiful woman (Kurylenko). The soldiers and even the kids in the audience know: TROUBLE.Director of Photography Claudio Miranda photographed some very good films 'Benjamin Button', 'Life of Pi' and nothing is wrong with the photography in 'Oblivion'. Wrong are the many chiche's, wrong is the production that lays to much emphasis on effects, wrong is production design to slick, wrong in the end is the story that generates all the cliche's that are duly amplified by its main male antagonists turned protagonists played by Cruise and Freeman.
