Movie review on Oblivion
It began with a thud and went into a silent mode. UnLike Tom Cruise previous movies it lacked the thrill we look for in his movies.
His acting was awesome, constumes incredible but the concept a little cold. I felt that the director Joseph Kosenski did a great job cause the story lacked thrill. The movie was more romantic than a sci fi thriller.
Now lets come to the technicalities. Screenplay was incredible, dialogues were average but Cruise narration was written very nicely, sound did gave a feel of a science fiction, vfx and graphics amazing and direction of photography also nice.
Acting was the best part. 'The Mission Impossible' star looked amazing as protagonist Jack Harper. Morgan Freeman was as usual at his best. Orga also did a descent job. But the surprise package was Andrea who did a really incredible job as Tom's wife.
Overall the movie was a pleasant watch. Great fiction, graphics, acting but lacked the basics aka the story and script.
From my side it deserves 3.5 stars.

Wether u like this movie or not.... depends entirely on your perspective with which you watch it and also on the things you require for making the movie a hit for you .... which is quite different for everybody. I agree that the first half was a bit slow, but I took it as a neccessary build up for the actual plot of the movie cause the second half more than makes up for it. Some may say its inspired from the 'Moon' but since I haven't really watched that movie, Oblivion stands original and interesting enough for me.

The year is 2077. The earth has been depleted of its resources and devastated because of the use of nuclear weapons due to an extraterrastial attack and people have relocated to titan. On earth Jack Harper(Tom Cruise) and his assistant Victoria (Andrea Riseborough)are left .They take care of Drone and hydro power generators sucking remaining water from the seas. They protect these from scavangers who are remaining extraterrastrials.They are monitored by Tet their mission control centre in space. One day a ship comes crashing down from space and in it jack finds Julia(Olga Kurylenko).She tells him the real truth about him that they were lovers. Through her he begins to remember what happened. The scavs kidnap them and thus he comes to know that these scavs are humans and the Alien race won insted of what he thought as humans winning the war and they used him as their weapon with thousands of clones of him and victoria sent on earth to kill and pick what resources remained. Thus Jack decided to destroy the Tet and he he does so with the help ofMalcolm Beech(Morgan Freeman). The movie is good in terms of the scenes and cinematography. The scenes look realistic.The actors have performed brilliantly. Worth a watch.
