CinemaSins (a guilty pleasure of mine) pointed out that the audience was already aware that the scavengers are humans. Oblivion's original marketing completely spoiled the film. And the soundtrack dug right into my soul.Īnd then, during my post-viewing research ritual, I made a surprising discovery. The story, despite its issues, is refreshing. The post-apocalyptic landscapes are a perfect combination of complexity and minimalism. It's a beautiful and hauntingly atmospheric film. Despite a number of issues, including a flawed premise, Oblivion delivered something captivating enough to be watched again. I had no idea if it's an action film, a stylized fantasy drama, or some sort of a futuristic detective story. All I saw before I hit play was the poster of Tom Cruise holding a futuristic gun. I watched Oblivion not knowing anything about it. ![]() I caved in and went ahead with the intention of turning it off the moment I felt the movie (inevitably) lost my attention. It finally found its way into my watchlist, nearly 9 years later, courtesy of Amazon Prime's recommendations based on my recent streak of fantasy and sci-fi viewings. Oblivion never registered on my radar since its release for an off-putting reason that's not relevant to anything in this review. ![]()
