Watch Oblivion Online - Here’s the thing about Oblivion Movie. The new sci-fi movie by "Tron: Legacy" director Joseph Kosinski. (Watch Oblivion Movie Online) I like it well enough that I don’t consider the two hours spent watching the movie as a waste.

 

Download Oblivion Movie -It’s got an interesting sci-fi concept that feels derivative. Which is fine if the execution had not been overtly long and antiseptic.

And all throughout the movie (Oblivion Download). The entire audience just sat in their chairs without making a sound, as if they were in a trance or worse, had fallen asleep. Take that as you will.

Oblivion Watch Online -(Okay, the theater wasn’t completely silent during the entire two hours. At one point, a cellular phone started ringing and probably did not stop for a full minute even after people kept staring at the girl who owned. (Oblivion Movie Watch Online) She then mentioned aloud: “I don’t know how to turn it off.” And the audience, instead of telling the girl to shut her phone, just sat there – too lethargic and uninvolved to muster the energy to issue the reprimand.)

 

Watch Oblivion Movie Online - Back to the movie: there’s got to be worse sci-fi movies than "Oblivion." (The remake of "The Day The Earth Stood Still" springs to mind.)

"Oblivion" is actually an idea movie except the idea seems like a rehash of ideas from other (Watch Oblivion Movie), much better sci-fi flicks.

Download Oblivion Movie - It’s 60 years after the end of civilization. (Oblivion Watch)And the only thing left on planet Earth is a trash compactor robot named Wall…wait, wrong movie.

Watch Oblivion Movie -Sixty years after aliens invaded Earth, the moon is a wreck, all the humans live on Jupiter’s largest moon, Hydro Rigs suck up the Earth’s resources and the only people left on planet Earth are Tom Cruise and English actress Andrea Louise Riseborough who both live on an elevated military outpost in the stratosphere.

Watch & download Oblivion Movie - Cruise plays Commander Jack Harper. A technician that handles maintenance for EVA-type drones that scour the Earth’s surface for “scavs” or alleged remnants of the alien invaders. (Oblivion Watch Movie Online) Riseborough plays Victoria, Harper’s bed buddy, chef and mission control – she gives Jack orders on where the drowned drones have fallen, while coordinating with “Sally” (Melissa Leo), who is tasked with giving order to the drones.

"Oblivion" takes its time to get to the point of the story (Oblivion Watch Movie Online), allowing us spend a lot of time on the remains of a ruined Earth. (Download Oblivion Movie) Kosinski’s love for his vistas shows through here: there’s a real feeling of emptiness as we see glimpses of marooned ships in the desert, the remains of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Statue of Liberty.

Download Oblivion Movie - Harper may be the last man on Earth but he’s having a ball. (Oblivion Watch) He’s got an Elvis bobble-head and a nice little cabin in the woods where he hides off during missions away from the prying eyes of Victoria and Sally.

Watch Oblivion Movie Online - But despite a mandatory mindwipe before the mission. Harper is haunted by the memory of a woman on top of the Empire State Building. (Oblivion Watch) And soon Harper’s tidy life gets upended when a ship crash-lands and he finds humans inside. (Download Oblivion Movie) One of the humans is the woman in his dreams.

To say more about this movie would be going into spoiler territory so for those who still want to see it: STOP right here.

"Oblivion" actually has two twists in the story on the alien invasion and Harper’s own identity. (Watch Oblivion Movie Online) It asks questions about identity and memory, except that some of the answers feel like a logical wormhole. There are action scenes that feel unnecessary, and an ending that feels like a Hail Mary move from a "Star Trek" ripoff.

 

Oblivion Watch Movie Online - The movie’s biggest sin actually isn’t in the ideas department: it’s in the way it’s executed. "Oblivion" engages the mind but not the heart. There just isn’t enough desperation in Harper’s character to justify the movie poster’s mantra that “Earth is a memory worth dying for.”

Download Oblivion - There’s not enough passion between Harper and his wife to root for their relationship; not enough hopelessness to feel for Morgan Freeman and the scavs.

Watch Oblivion Movie Online - Like his previous movie, director Kosinski’s storytelling choices are still locked in the grid. He’s got the visual style covered but for now, "Oblivion" is a pretty movie served cold.

Aliens have once again invaded Planet Earth.

Watch & Download Oblivion Movie - The difference this time, is that the humans have won the war, but have left Earth so badly devastated during the battle that the survivors have relocated to another planet.

Watch Oblivion Movie Online - In Oblivion, Tom Cruise’s latest futuristic foray sees him playing the tough and resilient Jack Harper, an ex-Marine commander whose duty is to monitor and repair drones that hunt and kill alien “scavengers” left on the wrecked planet.

Download Oblivion Movie - Most of the first half of the movie dwells on Harper and his partner, the beautiful but prissy Victoria Olsen (Andrea Riseborough), who form an “effective team”, as the strait-laced Victoria puts it.

Watch Oblivion Movie Online - Both do not have any pre-war memories, presumably because these have been wiped to prevent enemies from getting vital information out of them.

Watch Oblivion Movie online - Harper however, experiences recurring flashbacks and glimpses of a mysterious woman.

Oblivion Watch - Much of these flashbacks occur in the first part of the film. (Watch Oblivion Movie Online) Which is paced so slowly that Oblivion may just send you into a literal state of oblivion.

Apart from seeing Harper fly his impressive futuristic-looking vehicle and fix drones, nothing much happens.

 

Watch Oblivion Movie - While fans of Cruise may be happy to see him linger about for one hour, others may wish that they had a remote control so they could skip to the part where more characters appear.

 

Download Oblivion Movie - This is in the second half of the show, where Oblivion manages to redeem itself slightly with a series of modest action scenes and unexpected twists.

Oblivion Movie Download - It is also where you go “Oh” every time something is revealed, and when Morgan Freeman finally makes an appearance and sheds some light on what the show is really about.

Watch Oblivion Movie Online - But even Freeman’s charismatic presence as a resistance leader of surviving humans left on earth is unable to lift the film that lacks a good storyline.

Director Joseph Kosinski, who is best known for his debut with Tron Legacy, seems to have banked on his knack for stunning visuals a bit too much instead of drafting a decent plot for this film that’s based on his own unpublished graphic novel.

The story hinges on the woman (Olga Kurylenko) in the dreams of Harper, who falls from the sky in a spacecraft that crash-lands. The development leads to discoveries that make Harper have misgivings about everything he knows.

Movie-goers who have previously enjoyed Cruise’s high-impact sci-fi movies such as Minority Report and War of the Worlds may be disappointed, as Oblivion lacks suspense and anxiety-inducing scenes.

Nevertheless, despite the bland storyline, Oblivion is a gorgeous film with enough action-packed scenes to keep you entertained for a couple of hours.
