I actually liked this movie. It was predictable BUT by the time I left I had been competely pulled in.

The script was poor and there were a few plot holes. Also any movie with Morgan Freeman in it is hard to suspend disbelief. Not bad.

Now here is my question... What type of weapnry did the drones have? Those were pretty bad ass.

Although I don't care for the politics of the actors in the movie, it looks good.


 
that is one thing i wish i could unlearn.


after finding out the political stance on many of my fav. actors it really REALLY makes it difficult to enjoy movies now.   it truly has ruined the experience ..  


On the move.  It does look really good.   Im excited.


Ehh  turn off that part of my brain when watching movies with actors who like to vehemently voice their opinions as fact, that way I can enjoy the movie.

This made me laugh (Cloud Atlas)
PRIMITIVE TOM HANKS and FUTURE HALLE BERRY are CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN.  Why are they CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN?  Because they’re in LOVE.



TOM HANKS



Hey, Halle.  Yousa all fancy high-techy girl.  How come yousa not have helly-chop-chop?



HALLE BERRY



What?



TOM HANKS



It’s the future.  Where my flying car?



HALLE BERRY



Mushroom cloud go boom-boom.  Civilization go bye-bye.  No more fly-high gizmo and whatnot.



TOM HANKS



So your people have a fusion-powered hovercraft, but no airplanes?



HUGO WEAVING



KILL HER!!  KILL HER!!



TOM HANKS



Is okay.  I'z craplousy guide nee’how.  This be sheer cliff we must climb.

PRIMITIVE TOM HANKS and FUTURE HALLE BERRY make it to
the top of the mountain and enter an ABANDONED TEMPLE or possibly an
INTERSTELLAR COMMUNICATIONS STATION.  Skeletons are EVERYWHERE.



HALLE BERRY






Now we’uns just has to push yon big shiny button to
call an interstellar rescue fleet to carry us away from Earth to a
planet that’s not a radioactive wasteland.  But first, I'll show yousa a
video-film that will tear down your entire religion and belief system.
Just for yon shits and giggles.






HUGO WEAVING






KILL HER!!  KILL HER!!






TOM HANKS






Nah.






HUGO WEAVING






Congratulations, your psychotic schizophrenia is now
cured.  As a reward, you now get to fly to another planet and bang
Halle Berry.






TOM HANKS






Do I get to speak English now?






HALLE BERRY






No, we’uns gonna keep this wacky-dacky talk up all rest yon movie for tru-tru.






AUDIENCE






Holy fuck, this movie has to be over now, right?!






TOM HANKS






No, we’uns still got a cannibal attack and bloodshed gory galory to go.






AUDIENCE






But if you give us too much time to think, we’ll
start to wonder why none of the dead people in the temple bothered to
push the big shiny "RESCUE US” button before they lay down on the floor
and died.






TOM HANKS






Fine.  We’uns will skip to big finish.

Saw it tonight.

I dug it.

Loved the mechanical design.

Loved the dragonfly ship.

Loved the motorcycle.

Loved the drones.

The first time they showed 49 piloting the dragonfly ship was worth the price of admission.

I'm gong to check Amazon to see if they have an Oblivion art book, would love to see the concept art, who the designer was, etc.

Story was good, it kept me involved.

Recommended.

I heard it was based on a graphic novel.  Presumably of the same name but I don't know... If you find that post up a link.

Looks like they put out a concept art book at Comicon, no graphic novel was ever published.

Found out the director was the same one that did TRON: Legacy.

He's also majored in architectural design, so that's why his sets always look so awesome and his design language is so rad.

My 75 year old mom saw it last week and liked it.  

Not sure what that means.


I dug it.  

Is it in the top 5 for Sci Fi?

Nah, but it was solid.

Reminds me of TRON: Legacy, not the tightest story, but serviceable...what really rescues the movie is the aesthetic and designs.
