Review of Oblivion

Oblivion (I) (2013)
5/10
Predictable Average Sci-Fi Flick
2 January 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was a little too easy to figure out and has issues with character motivation. Too many clues are given to the plot in the first few minutes to think otherwise.

Lots of visual "eye candy" make up this film. But I am not entertained by a two hour fireworks display either. Over all this could have been told in an hour on TV such as the Outer Limits or Twilight Zone.

A few scenes in the movie seemed like forced acting. For example; A lot of Vics scenes lacked motivation. Jack's deception at the end seemed rather lame. No Oscar performances here.

It is worth a look, if you have nothing else to do. It is better than just sitting around picking your nose. Here are some of the movies "flaws" if you want to call it that.

DEAD GIVE AWAYS: I am immediately made suspicious of any "superiors" who demand a mind wipe for being the janitor and repair man. Jack and Vic never seem to question the Tech 49 and Tower 49 naming convention for the only 2 people remaining on a dying world. Finally I find is very odd that anyone or anything can copy a human flawlessly, however can't completely remove those memories. Alien AI never heard of geostationary satellite orbit, but then again they had to orbit the planet the to talk to the countless other Jacks and Victorias.
