OBLIVION: vast space, less characters


Oblivion is visually striking film with vast space and less characters. For me, it is multi-million INDIE FILM like “Life of Pi” (2012) when categorized in Philippine Cinema.

Oblivion is a sci-film set in a distant future where earth has been alienated by a race called Scavs and the battle of survival has begun. Places had been evacuated and there were skilled individuals assigned to overlook the planet’s surface, one of them is Jack Harper (Tom Cruise), who patrols the skies and the land to ensure security and continuous function of their machines. With him is his partner, Julia (Olga Kurylenko) stationed at their home base to assist him with his functions. 

Their mission was about to end in a matter of days when a spacecraft fall from the sky and upon his investigation, Jack discovers the capsule that contains humans and one of them seemed familiar to him. Jack embarks on a spectacular adventure risking his life that will challenge everything he knew about mankind’s most defining battle and the entire course of human history.

Director Joseph Kosinski’s  (Tron) storytelling is as good as his imagination. Futuristic and creative. He also co-wrote and produced the movie.

Since this film has an astounding visuals, you will get hooked on your seat even though the story is very thin.

Rating: 3/5
