Oblivion

Jack Harper (Cruise) is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack's mission is nearly complete.Living in and patrolling the breathtaking skies from thousands of feet above, his soaring existence is brought crashing down when he rescues a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. Her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces him to question everything he knows and puts the fate of humanity in his hands.


Let me state for the record that this movie was visually awesome.  The sci-fi future presented in this was very well designed.  Unfortunately, that was pretty much it.  The story was way to artsy at first and then became way too convuluted.  Tom Cruise was very much miscast.  And it was way too long.  The futuristic world was set up easy enough that nowhere near that much time was needed to expand/develop it.

I wouldn't really recommend people checking this out.  It wasn't horrible but it wasn't too good either even though the visual  effects and the futuristic cinematography were great.
