I saw the movie Oblivion in it's first run at the theaters and have since seen it a few more times on the big screen and when it went to the local 2 buck Cinemark theater - buck fiddy - economy hours. I love this movie, great story with some good twists and turns. Oblivion is very entertaining! It has stark stunning visuals, fun tech and some real good action and non verbal acting.
Even though most alien take over movies have similar themes now - try to kill us all off, take our resources and then how we take them out - the more I see this movie the more I want to see it on the big screen again!!! The tech used in the movie is great fun. The "Tower" home is cool and the cabin is awesome
plus the cycle and other tech too...we should all have a personal earth/space transport like he had. Tom Cruise always puts great effort into his characters and his interactions with the cast and scenescapes is great. I am a big fan of his hard work in movies...some of my favorites of his are The Last Samurai, Collateral and more recently Jack Reacher (movie better than the books (which is unusual) and I finally saw then purchased Knight and Day - a really fun movie and check out the dvd extras when Mr. Cruise jumps off a building....ouch! I should say about Oblivion the rest of the cast did a stellar job too - Andrea Riseborough - not just because of her awesome pool scene - so much more, Olga Kurylenko and Morgan Freeman tops too - just right for this movie.

Joseph Kosinski directed/wrote,Karl& Gajdusek and Michael Arndt with the screenplay, cinematography by Claudio Miranda, production design by Darren Gilford and the original music by composers Anthony Gonzalez - M83, Joseph Trapenese and the rest of the cast and crew brought a great idea/story to life for us to see and hear on the big screen. I hope Mr. Kosinski does more sci fi and soon!!!! I am looking foreword to seeing what Oblivion looks like on my small screen - not really - dang, I need to save up someday and get a big flat screen! I call the movie Oblivion a definite see/buy!!!! Heck, see it at the big screen if you still can!!!! It is a testament to it's value that it is still in the 2 buck theater - movies are usually out of there pretty quick if they're not still bringing in the people. Enjoy!
