It takes a roving band of humans ( The Matrix Reloaded), led by Morgan Freeman and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, to spark a climactic battle that has Jack seeing double ( Avatar).
Is Vika real ( Blade Runner)? She does get jealous when Jack discovers Julia (Olga Kurylenko), a beauty who reminds him of his past ( Inception) when the Empire State Building still stood ( Planet of the Apes). Vika stays in the glass bubble she and Jack use as home base. There are hints of mind-tampering ( Total Recall) as Jack and Vika (Andrea Riseborough), his British partner and bedmate, take orders from a computer named Sally, a magnolia-voiced Melissa Leo (think HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey). Get ready to play “Name That Reference.” Tom Cruise stars as Jack Harper, the fighter pilot ( Top Gun) charged with eliminating any leftover aliens and protecting the drones at work on a hydroelectric energy plant. With a script Karl Gajdusek and Michael DeBruyn adapted from Kosinski’s graphic novel, Oblivion is a scavenger, feeding off better material. If looks were everything, Oblivion – gorgeously shot by Life of Pi Oscar winner Claudio Miranda – would be the sci-fi Citizen Kane. Director Joseph Kosinski ( Tron: Legacy) knows from sleek. Minus the animation, it’s also the motor that drives Oblivion, a fantasy without an original thought in its sleek, empty head. A pair of unlikely lovers are assigned from on high to do the robotic work of reclaiming vital resources and maybe saving the planet. The remnants of humanity have taken refuge on a space station.
Alien wars have left the future in ruins.
