Oblivion

5th of 365

This movie was not very good. I guessed the twist in the first five minutes, it was the first note I made.

Now,

SPOILERS 

The movie not being good may not totally be it's fault. It wasn't good enough to overcome a trailer that shows too much. Look, there is no reason Morgan Freeman needs to be shown in the trailer.  The beginning third of the movie we are told that the enemy are "Scavengers" and an alien species. They go through the trouble of masking the voices and being heavily disguised. They take extra time to describe why they would have all the extra gear and decoration. It is completely ridiculous that the writer and director thought it was important to explain how they are human, when the trailer gives away the fact there are humans on Earth. It is terrible.

Also, I can't imagine Tom Cruise listening to music is totally perplexing.  What music would Tom Cruise listen to? There is no genre that is a satisfactory answer.

Judgement: Watch on HBO
