Fuck you Sally

Oblivion (2013)

Directed by Joseph Kosinski this film stars Tom Cruise, Andrea Riseborough, Olga Kurlenko and Morgan Freeman. In the future after the planet has been largely destroyed in a war with alien invaders a repairman helps maintain resource gathering machines for the rest of humanity that has left for Titan.

Essentially this is an action film masquerading as science fiction, the plot is a combination of elements of better films that never really amount to any grand undertaking here. There are a lot of interesting elements but they all seem to be included as part of a check list for what someone things is required of a sci-fi film. Visually the film is really impressive and the acting is decent but sadly it is always the script that leaves you underwhelmed, it just never really connects on any level.


3/5
