1. Quality

2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   Cowboy Tom Cruise struts his stuff in this cool sci-fi mystery thriller. The review-pundits were hot-and-cold, but I was decidedly hot. I love out of this world movie premises, and Oblivion made me happy. I would have stayed happy even if it stayed as a simple good-guy vs. bad-guy thriller with plenty of shoot-em-up sci-fi action. But wait, there’s more. Witness some 20th century holdout cowboy antics, Jetson’s living coolness, major plot twists and reveals under a 2001 Space Odyssey aura with some eye-candy for both sexes also. Not bad, in fact, its’ great stuff.

4. Acting

   Very Good 3.5

   Tom Cruise is, well, Tom Cruise. You know him by now, you expected it, and you get it.
   Morgan Freeman has more of a supporting role, and yes – he too dilvers what you’ve seen in all his other roles.
   Andrea Riseborough is calm, cool, and hot as the sky-bound sidekick
   Late arriving Olga Kurylenko is no slouch either, and Melissa Leo provides some video-screen delivered acting goods.
