Alert!!!!

Saw the movie it was good but not great.
So at the end of the movie was that really Tom cruise? I thought he died blowing up the computer. Or a clone of him again?

It was the second Tom Cruise that landed and was tied up...when harper came back if you notice he was gone...you could tell by the look on his face he had memories too and he chased them until he found her

It was OK. Tron Legacy was better. But I think that was due to the score.

From a mega Tron Fan like myself, this might sound a bit crazy, but as A MOVIE, I think Oblivion was much better!
Of course I am a Tron fanboy so I'd love the movie more than Oblivion, but being objective, Oblivion, as a whole, was done better.

Music was pretty B@DA$$ though right!? For his 2nd film id say this Joe guys on a pretty good roll.
Yep!!! :rock!

Saw it last night
As good as Tron
Enjoyed it and yes the music is great

:hi5:


I LOVED this movie.
I don't care if I've seen some of the ideas before, or the plot and twists are predictable etc.
I love how it was put together. The sound, visuals, music were all great.

Tom Cruise was solid as well.

I loved that ship, home base, and the drones. They were bad A S S!!!

I just love this kind of mindless sci-fi.
Easy buy for me on blu ray!

I wouldn't call it necessarily "mindless" it has plenty of deep references and subplots, even if borrowed from previous Sci-Fi movies and books. I think you can analyze this movie quite a bit....

Dude, use spoiler tags... seriously!
I gotta say...

I suppose. I'll be honest, the music didn't really stand out as much to me. But then again, I have no idea who M83 is. I don't listen to music. Only soundtracks. But I have heard Daft Punk many times before. So I had in my head what I expected, but was pleased what with what I got.

To be honest, I don't know how I feel about this movie. It's not like Evil Dead where I want to love it, so i'm not TOO conflicted.

I just think the problem with this movie, fundamentally is...it feels kinda pointless. I never really felt the stakes. Sure, wiping out humanity IS bad....but show me why. Show me why I should care, outside of basic empathy. It also had a lot of weird little problems that made me go..."Wait....wha? Huh? Can you try to explain that but not make it sound so silly?"

I wanted to enjoy it. And I did, for a long time. Until the middle act. But it sorta redeemed itself with the last act. It wasn't original, but it was a lot more interesting then the story that came before it.

Even if it was Independence Day meets 2001.

Eh. I'm glad there's a big budget Sci-Fi film out there...but I wish it was as intelligent as District 9 was. As much as I don't need a message or a point with every movie...I felt like there should've been one here. It was a Sci-Fi film that acted like it had a purpose, but didn't. Kinda like Prometheus. And that was disappointing.

Direction, and visuals were solid though. And they ALMOST made the film work just on that level. Until the story stuff started to kick in. I enjoyed the pace too. It was relaxing. And interesting.

I guess you missed all of the analogies and references to deeper themes...
I agree it borrows heavily from other movies and books...NOT ID4 though, that's :cuckoo:
It has all the elements in place, and I personally cared a lot about Jack and Victoria, and how their relationship was broken in the midst of such an environment and circumstances... Also, it was more about self-discovery rather than explosions and aliens... there was A LOT at stake...


I really liked this film...I was thinking about Tron,Wall-E,POTA,2001's Hal the computer,Thx,Logans Run, Terminator, I am Legend...all these and more came to mind....Even thoughts of Galactus(The destroyer of worlds:wink1:)came up...even vger from ST the motion picture or the ST Borg cube or ST 4 and ID4...It was a great film and tragic story if you think about it...I do like the fact there were explainations and closure...all done in a very well done manner...Music was like Tron Legacy's...kick-a ss...I didnt think the ending was so bad at all...very nice seeing a good sci fi flick again reminding me of the older films from the 60's and 70s...Kudos to the filmakers...I definetley could see Heston playing Harper...The scenery was phenomenal including of course the special effects....I thought this also was one of the Loudest films I ever saw volume wise...really loud soundtrack

Oh yeah!! This movie was loud, and I loved it!!
I think it's Kosinski signature, Tron Legacy was very loud too!! :rock!

Oblivion was so ****ing good! Even better in IMAX!

:lecture

I'm going back to the IMAX again. Gotta see it one more time.
Enjoy those visuals, sound and music.
Top notch!
:yess:

Just got back from seeing it in IMAX. Probably the best Sci-fi I've seen in a long time. So great. 9.5/10
:rock!!

I saw this last night and it was ok so i'd give it a 6.
:pfft:
 
If you didn't see ID4 in the ending..... well...uh...That was the same ending almost beat by beat.

They even had their version of a the "Mac Virus". So yeah. If you don't see ID4 at the end, you're *insert crazy smile condescending crap*

And there wasn't any deeper meanings. None. The movie was as hollow as ****. Which is fine. Not every movie needs that.

I think the film did. But hey. If you enjoyed it, then yey for you.
 
Good entertaining movie, I enjoyed the designs and the music. Cruise gave a good performance. I would have enjoyed it more if I didn't predict the plot twist within the first ten minutes though. Pretty predictable and borrows a LOT from other sources.

Out of interest, what gave that away in the first 10 mins?
 
I don't care if the movie borrowed from other movies, or some people here "had it all figured out" in the first 10 minutes. I know I didn't.
I still think it had a good story and made sense in the end.

I loved how things actually happened and how it ended up.
I thought it was very cool. Good sci-fi!

And what is Celtic talking about ID4? That means Independence Day?
No, I don't remember that ending because that movie was like 15 years ago or whatever and was crappy. So no, I don't rememeber that ending and it didn't come to my mind, when watching this lol

I have never heard anyone say ID4 is a crappy movie before. Who knew?

And what he refers to that the main characters fly to the alien ship armed with a nuke and detonate it, which cause other alien ships to shut down (ei...the drones in oblivion).
