Movie Review: "Oblivion"

This Sci-Fi Action film stars Tom Cruise who plays “Jack,” a veteran assigned to guard over machinery that is extracting Earth’s remaining resources in the near future. The earth has been invaded by aliens. Humans have won the war, but are extracting water for a mass migration to the Saturian moon of Titan. He and his team member remain on earth to prevent sabotage of machinery by remaining aliens hiding on earth. Not unlike Total Recall, Jack’s struggle awakens doubts about who he is and what he is fighting for. The special effects are spectacular. The movie is suspenseful, but not frightfully so. The plot if fairly sophisticated and has an end with closure. Morgan Freeman makes more or less a cameo appearance mid and end movie.
