Movie No. 159 (2013): OBLIVION
Oblivion (2013)
Director: Joseph Kosinski
Cast: Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman
It looks like the gist of the movie is simplified in the synopsis, as generally is the trend. Nothing wrong with that. In fact, the premise is interesting. In good hands, the\at premise may be materialized into a film that will be remembered in the years to come. But, with I saw, I'd rather preserve the film in the realm of oblivion (no pun intended). The film gets more interested in showcasing special effects and (digitalized) art direction. Even Tom Cruise's performance is irritating.
