In the first hour of the film, I almost fell asleep again. I doubted the intention and necessity of the director Joseph Kosinski many times to make this film, so I was looking forward to that wonderful suspense. With the flash point of view of the script drafted by the director himself many years ago, I seem to understand that he wants Oblivion to be different from other sci-fi blockbusters, but to have more profound themes. Unfortunately, the editing is confusing, the plot is slow, and the rhythm is slow. Let those magnificent visual effects experience completely steal the limelight, and also make the plot and characters even less lonely.
Since it is a hard sci-fi core, storytelling is especially important compared to those silly sci-fi blockbusters. Although there are some slightly brain-moving parts of the plot, the chaotic combination makes all the fragments seem less coherent and reasonable together, and the memory elements are not well developed.
Fortunately, the tone of the film is somewhat similar to the clean version of "Prometheus", the scene is magnificent and the picture is vivid, but this is all expected.
Tom Cruise's two Jacks (the last time was "Jack Reacher") were a little paralyzed, and this time he was out of shape. He was quite detached from the first-person narration full of confusion in the film. Soon to encounter a bottleneck again, Ah Tang is very handsome, but the audience will also be very tired.
The soundtrack of M83 is a gimmick of the film, and the director has moved in a group of French artists. This time, the music of M83 can only be said to be nothing short of nothing, and it has no obvious characteristics compared with the soundtracks of other sci-fi blockbusters.
