Story: Tom Cruise stars in Oblivion, an original and groundbreaking cinematic event from the visionary director of TRON: Legacy and producers of Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

With a reality that is shattered as he discovers shocking truths that connect him to Earth of the past, Jack will be pushed to a heroism he didn't know he contained within. The fate of humanity now rests solely in the hands of a man who believed our world was soon to be lost forever.

Likes : I know most people don't like tom cruise film's & put his films down or just put the film down in general but this film is by far one of his best film's to date,Ya i know there's been a lot of movies that show end of the world stuff but never have they been well done like this film. From the very start the story on how the earth became like it was, was brilliantly done & sets the tone for the rest of the film plus with its stunning visual effect as well this film is what sc-fi is all about.What also good about this film is the storyline of it, its got such a twist in the storyline that leave you thinking what the hell is going on in such a brilliant way it works for the concept of the film.Tom cruise character was just brilliantly executed showed real depth in character specially when he find the truth behind everything which starts to get weird in the film specially with the twist in the storyline.Tom cruise play a drone tech that goes out everyday search the area & making sure the drones are working OK along with his partner Victoria played by Andrea Riseborough who play her character brilliantly.Olga Kurylenko character Julia provides the twist in the story along with Morgan Freeman character Beech who show tom's character
the truth that where this film starts take off,in the aspect of taking the story further which slow reveal the truth behind the attack on earth & reveal a twist in to curtain things that are show in this film,to finally see what the alien looks like which was just absolute amazing with the special effect.this has to be the best film Ive seen so far in sc-fi that really take you on a roller coaster of emotions with the inspirational music score to this film as well really dose give this film its edge.This is one film to watch at the cinema &not miss,you wont be disappointed.

Dislike: Just slightly a little slow in places, but still worth watching.

Overall : Awesome backstory,awesome visaul effect, brilliant twist in the story,a must to watch for all sc-fi fans.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for enetertainment / 9.4 out of 10 for concept/visaul effects.
