Movie Review: Oblivion

Brief Summary - For the greater part of 2 hrs Jack Harper (Tom Cruise)  enjoys his monotonous, plush life as a glorified ‘space mechanic’ stationed on Earth (in the future) after a War which forces the majority of humans to live in space. Of course he thinks that he and his lone female companion are alone on their mission to harvest Earth’s resources until...dun dun dun

Rating - On a scale of 1 to 10 Oblivion is worthy of a 5

Movie Strengths – Visuals, visuals, visuals...Joseph Kosinski the director of TRON: Legacy lends his skills and directs this spectacle of a movie

Movie Weaknesses – Talk about predictable script writing, a one ply sheet of toilet paper has more depth than this story line (seriously)

Final Thoughts – If you are a hardcore Action/Adventure, Sci-Fi/ Fantasy film fan this film has the main ingredients to scratch your itch, if you can tolerate Tom Cruise for 2 hrs and a thinly written script.
