Ratings:3.5/5Review By:Renuka VyavahareSite:Times of India (TOI)
Oblivion is not your video game-esque, fast-paced sci-fi action film
which offers cheap thrills. It's a profound, cerebral drama which
focuses on Jack's inner journey and his relentless search for
identity.In spite of Joseph Kosinski's unhurried approach towards the
film's buildup, he manages to keep you thoroughly engaged, thanks to
brilliant production design and clever imagination. In terms of
story-telling, the film stays unpredictable, thus convincing us to
patiently wait as the mystery unfolds, even when it feels a tad
directionless at times. Like a novel, the film stays unputdownable till
the end. Oblivion is primarily a great visual experience. The mystifying
sombreness of a post-apocalyptic earth has been captured brilliantly.
Note: You may not like the film if you do not like slow-paced
science-fiction movies, high on human emotions.

Oblivion, which was partially shot in Iceland, has some staggeringly
beautiful landscapes and a very cool bubble aircraft that ferries Harper
back and forth. But mostly director Joseph Kosinski’s film, adapted
from his own unpublished graphic novel, feels like one of drones
featured in the film. It’s gleaming, mechanical and lifeless. At over
two hours, Oblivion becomes a test of Cruise’s charisma and your
patience. I’m going with two and a half stars. This is one of those
tepid films that doesn’t soar or sink enough to arouse any emotion.
