  • Oblivion - It's The End Of The World As We Know It...

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 22, 2013
    Pros: Strong performances, visually stunning, effective soundtrack, interesting concept.
    Cons: Thin plot, predictable.

    Summary: Whenever I think Tom Cruise and science fiction, my mind goes to that crap film Vanilla Sky that Cruise starred in a decade ago.  Yeah, I know he did Minority Report a year later, to sort of make up for things.  But I generally ... read more

  • Oblivion (2013)

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 13, 2013
    Pros: Amazing soundtrack
    Beautiful visuals
    Great cast
    Asks plenty of questions 
    Cons: Creaky script
    Feels very long
    Doesn't feel particularly unique 

    Summary: After a war with a race of aliens known as ‘Scavs’, our moon is destroyed and Earth wiped out by nuclear bombs.  With the planet almost entirely uninhabitable due to radiation, humanity has moved up to temporary havens above the clouds ... read more

  • Two Hours of Oblivion with Tom Cruise

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 13, 2013
    Pros: Oblivion is visually fantastic and the story was actually pretty interesting.
    Cons: Oblivion frequently dragged and seemed unnecessarily long.

    Summary: I love science fiction and one of this summer's three big sci fi releases was Oblivion with Tom Cruise.   The film looked amazing with brilliant futuristic looking post apocalyptic earth scenery.Oblivion ... read more

  • Oblivion - Looks Great, Even if the Story Isn't So Much

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 5, 2013
    Pros: Incredible cinematography and visual effects.
    Cons: Very confused storyline. Morgan Freeman wasted in a bit part.

    Summary: It seems these days that when a sci-fi film has anything whatsoever to do with the earth, the setting is practically always "in a post apocalyptic world". Whether it's caused by some alien invasion or a massive war that has left the planet uninhabitable, ... read more

  • Tom Cruise always seems to save the world

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 16, 2013
    Pros: Beautiful, entertaining, good performance from Cruise
    Cons: Long, unoriginal, uninvolving with it's story

    Summary: Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) is a lone soldier who lives in the clouds above a post-apocalyptic Earth after a war made the surface uninhabitable. He lives a steady life where all he does is repair drones, in hopes that they will stop any hostile aliens from ... read more

  • Oblivion is great science fiction

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 9, 2013
    Pros: Cool gadgets and scenery
    Cons: Nothing major

    Summary: Oblivion is the kind of science fiction I so thoroughly enjoy because there’s not enough like it. This has the right balance of plot, action, twists, scenery, and originality to make it worth seeing on the big screen. It’s a little ... read more

  • 3.5 stars. Not terribly original story, but gorgeously executed

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 26, 2013
    Pros: Really nice CGI work.  Tom Cruise is a charismatic star.
    Cons: Character development is sketchy and plot is made from old parts.

    Summary: OBLIVION is a gorgeous movie to look at.  It’s a marvel of brown and gray.  Tom Cruise is a charismatic movie star.  Those two elements alone make the film worth seeing.  And it’s a good thing OBLIVION has those things ... read more

  • Are You Really Who You Think You Are?

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 20, 2013
    Pros: Acting, Story, Effects
    Cons: Pacing

    Summary: I have heard Oblivion called a typical Tom Cruise film.  In some ways it is, we do have Tom Cruise as the self-sacrificing hero that he plays in a lot of films.  However, in other ways it is not.  Oblivion has a little more ... read more

  • Earth Is A Memory Worth Fighting For: OBLIVION

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 19, 2013
    Pros: Slick production, fast paced action, and Tom Cruise.
    Cons: How many times are we going to destory the world?

    Summary: Oblivion (2013) Directed by Joseph Kosinski Sixty years ago, Earth was attacked. We won the war, but they destroyed half the planet. Everyone's been evacuated. Nothing human remains. We're here for drone repair. We're the "mop-up ... read more

  • Cruising Toward Oblivion – A review of “Oblivion”

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 19, 2013
    Pros: A thinking man's post-apocalyptic science fiction adventure.  Really cool atmospheric flying machines
    Cons: Doesn't answer all the questions it poses - but is that really a bad thing?

    Summary: I find myself wondering time and again why film makers always targetNew Yorkfor their post apocalyptic tales.  I mean, after all, there are other recognizable landmarks in other cities that would make them equally perfect backdrops, too.  But ... read more
