My like and dislike switch was continuously being flipped during this one. Oblivion has good acting and really neat special effects. I’m also a sucker for the Kubrick-esque set designing. Despite the super pretentious, expository opening monologue by the Cruise missile, I was still really interested in finding out what exactly is going on in this movie. I was on the edge of my seat until they lost the only thing they had going for them. Once the jig was up I realized that I’ve seen this movie before and it’s called Moon. This basically made the 2nd and 3rd act completely predictable and lacking in suspense or intrigue. While I don’t feel my money was wasted at the theatre I probably won’t be buying the Blu-Ray.
