“Star Wars,” “Moon,” “Tron: Legacy,” & “Eagle Eye.” What do all of these films have in common? They are all visual inspiration contributors to the latest Sci-Fi film “Oblivion” by “Tron: Legacy” director, Joseph Kosinski.

In “Oblivion,” viewers will follow Jack Harper (Tom Cruise), a man in charge of cleaning up earth after a brutal war in the future. Jack brings back valuables from earth to a space station that a majority of humans live on called “The Tet.” As Jack begins to explore planet Earth further, the more he begins to realize that the people he works for are not so trustworthy, and that there is some things that were left on earth that are not quite the threat they were claimed to be.

For viewers seeking a Sci-Fi film that is loaded with interesting “eye candy” visuals, “Oblivion” should be a great visual experience. The film’s musical score is well-composed, as it adds more of an edgy feeling to the film. It also has some interesting moments on what the beauty of living as a human being is like.

Though the film’s “eye candy” is tastefully executed, there are many aspects of the film that don’t quite work. “Oblivion” suffers from having too many plot twists; some that are very predictable. Morgan Freeman’s great performance as a resistance leader feels very under-used, as well. The film also suffers from a “style over substance” approach.

For those seeking a good Sci-Fi film to watch, “Oblivion” might be a better redbox or Netflix experience over a theatrical one.
