    This movie was a total waste! one of the weirdest movies. Not good at all would recommend you watch something better!

    Oblivion was definitely well made but the story seemed to just sputter out somewhere around 60 minutes in. I was completely engaged and interested as we learned about this repair crew who had the left overs of earth to themselves. They could have ran with that single idea for 2 hours and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have complained. All is not lost though, visually, Oblivion was a blast and M83 did a great job with the soundtrack. If you like science fiction movies you should probably add this to your watch list but don't expect too much. Overall, you'll probably be disappointed.

    I guess I am the rare viewer who enjoyed this movie. But I tend to cut some slack for sci-if movies. I don’t carefully parse out the special effects or pull out a book on physics to make sure every detail is kosher. As long as I am entertained, the plot doesn’t insult my intelligence, and the dialogue is realistic and if possible witty, I am in for the duration. Early in the movie I thought I spotted a rather large plot hole and I thought, Oh-oh, but I waded through it. Then later I was pleasantly surprised to find they had subtly explained what I had thought was a mistake, and it wasn’t. Perhaps this wasn’t just a space opera with romance and action. I had to pay attention. I wouldn’t call it a cerebral sci-fi movie, but I am glad I stuck with it.

    Love this movie! There seams to be material for much more than just the one, but maybe it's just that feeling after a good movie that it ended too soon. I watch movies to be entertained, and I don't care too much about realism especially in SciFi movies, maybe that's why I enjoy watching Oblivion again and again.

    Oblivion was a decent watch. It had an interesting concept at first, but as the layers began to unfold, it felt bloated and contrived. It was as if the writers were adding fake depth to story that was very surface level. Performances were pretty bad too, Tom Cruise felt out of place in a sci-fi film, and none of the other actors worked for me. There is some gorgeous cinematography and an absolutely masterful score that helps raise the score bit. I really enjoyed the more quiet moments that were just Cruise and the world, one in particular was the scenes of him at his cabin on the lake. Overall, I was a bit disappointed based on what this film could have been. For Sci-Fi lovers, this might be worth a watch but don't expect greatness. Score: 55% Verdict: Decent

    A bit of a corny movie with quite a simplistic resolution and soppy ending. But it's Tom Cruse, It's Sci-fi and it looks cool so what more do you need?
