oblivion (2013)

[G_Thang]

i'd passed on it in the movie theatres because i thought the spaceship was corny in the trailers. 



i was wrong!  what a wonderful ending and well written story with a beautiful soundtrack.  great movie if you haven't seen it.  almost teared up at the end.

Too much estrogen

I thought it was cool.  Watched it a couple of times.

the ending stunk. apart from that, it wasn't bad overall.

making all those replicas...

Smart aliens

I like the houses and the pool was cool as well.

Saw it.  Lame script... average effects.  A waste of talent for the actors involved: Freeman, Cruise.  Slightly better but also weak was Elysium.  Great effects but weak script and a waste of talented actors.

Agreed. Great movie, better than I expected. It was different and not a rip off of other movies

have you seen Jupiter Ascending? Looks good and original (slightly).

[HonestBob]

Best film of late is Red Army, nothing good from Hollywood these days.

[Azzaro]

Tom cruise is the last action hero. Happy how he keeps them coming: oblivion, jack reacher, the groundhog day-like movie, mission impossible etc.
Just game back from seeing avengers 2...disappointed...await ing batman vs superman now

[The Ugly]

Think I need to see this. Where do you guys get your rentals these days, if Netflix doesn't stream what you want?

Also, how was the second Star Trek (Into the Darkness, I think)? I can stream that, and I really liked the first.

Jack Reacher was good. Way better than expected

I enjoyed both but the Star Trek was a better film by far probably due to my familiarity with the characters.  I usually buy my films as I have a 400 Disc Sony ES Blu Ray Changer now to supplement my Laser Disc Player and collection of several hundred laser discs.  I like movies, not TV.  Weird, I know.  Well, older shows such as the original The Prisoner or The Man from U.N.C.L.E and others I do enjoy.  I have Roger Moore's show, "The Saint" on DVD.

a forgettable action romp.

spock and uhura having a lovers tiff

[Mr Anabolic]

I liked it and saw it twice in the theater.  It was a combination of many different older sci-fi movies.

it needed to be a 4hr movie couldve been epic

I haven't seen it but it's been getting horrible reviews

Oblivion was okay.  Nothing super-memorable.

Cruise's other recent one (Edge of Tomorrow) is I think one of the best sci-fi movies ever.  Emily Blunt is also smoking hot in it.

[Teutonic Knight]

IRON SKY is far better film

Edge of Tomorrow was good. I hop that they do a follow up.


About Jupiter Ascending, from the trailer it looks good. Different. Not your usual alien movie.

It was a huge disappointment for me. Don't know what's going on in Wachowskis' heads, but they filmed Cinderella/Beauty and the Beast in space with a complete miscast for the main character. Probably they tried to make little girls happier or smthn, but hardly a surprise it's a box office disaster. People wanted movie like Matrix or Cloud Atlas, not a disney cartoon.

It's actually a great movie and the music helps building it up alot!

To everyone who havent seen Oblivion, go see it asap!

the movie was the book of revelations. a great idea, not written perfectly but nothing ever is.  for a sci-fi flick, it's a B+, does well for its' genre.

[Kwon_2]

Oblivion > Elysium by a boatload of bananatourists.
