Oblivion





Cast: Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko,Andrea Riseborough
Director: Joseph Kosinski
Genre: Sci-Fi, Adventure
 
A new take on alien invasion Sci fi genre. Good watch
 
Pluses:
  • Not that this one is totally out of the world brand new concept. However, the movie never feels dull or totally cliche, even if it may remind you of many extracts from various other flicks of such context. What you will enjoy are the fancy next generation flyers and big sets and special effects on a large screen
  • Tom Cruise is at his best, as always. Can never have enough of this man. Though he has many better movies and stunts in his other flicks, but this one nonetheless suits him well
  • Olga Kurylenko had a substantial role, and she does a good job, besides looking pretty throughout :)
 
 






Lukewarm:
  • Script is just about fine. Nothing wrong with it nor it does qualify to be a plus point for the movie. The good thing is you dont feel bored even when the movie is quite lengthy. Different climaxes keep happening, untangling many secrets of the past and present, also future. Hence the pace of the movie also doesnt hurt
  • Morgan Freeman has better things to do. This one was just passe
  • Andrea Riseborough had a brief role, and she does as much as the role demands. Passe again!
 
 






Minuses:
 
  • Hated the costumes of the resistance team( the survivors). Morgan Freeman looked funny in all that heavy stuffs on him
  • Not many minuses :) Good star cast, big budget sci fi movie, tried and tested genre. Not much to go wrong, isnt it! :)
 
 
 
 
 














My Rating: 3/5
