Re: Oblivion
It's a mystery to me that some people are complaining about this movie having sci-fi elements in it. It's a futuristic action sci-fi movie, what were you expecting to happen in it?
The best complaint of all is the one about Tom Cruise. If you think Tom Cruise is always flawed in movies, what are you doing going to see a Tom Cruise movie?
Okay, Oblivion is not a perfect movie, but there are not many of those around. For me the first two-thirds were fantastic and the last third was decent.
Yes, it's true to say that many of the plot elements in it have been used before and that there are a few that on reflection don't add up. But for me this combination of them was well done and enjoyable. Rom-Com fans don't bitch about couples ending up together almost all the time, so why shouldn't sci-fi fans be allowed to bask in seeing a fresh version of material that they enjoy?
If you can cope with your sci-fi movies including some sci-fi, and you don't have a problem with Tom Cruise, then I'd recommend seeing this.
