Oblivion - tearing up earth again!

I liked the previews to the new Tom Cruise movie, "Oblivion".  BUT The trailer sliced the scenes so that things you think are happening are much different in the movie. If you think that I am saying that things are NOT what the seem, you would be correct. However, I wanted a good sci-fi movie and I got one.  We saw it at the IMAC. That way Tom looks a lot larger. Really though this movie is made for the largest possible screen. Waiting for Netflix will be a waste.

Great CGI and great effects. Those of you that run scared of drones, won't feel any better after this. This takes place in 2077 as the last people are leaving earth because nuclear bombs have left most of earth unlivable. Tom Cruise is a Tech that keeps the drones working.  At the start you do not know who the enemy is.  Neither does Tom. He gets his memory erased every 5 years.

BUT he starts to remember and then he meets Morgan Freeman.  Everything always changes when Mr. Freeman is around.

Fun movie although the story has holes. It is amazing how many ways Hollywood can show the ruins of NYC or DC.  The first poster at the top is NOT shown like that in the movie.

Its what I go to the movie for when I want to escape.

BTW the previews showed Fast & Furious 8 or was it 9 (speaking of stories with holes) and the rebirth of Superman all over again.

Any who I give Oblivion, **3/4 stars
