'Oblivion' (2013) – Joseph Kosinski.

 

After the brain-warping brilliance of 'Live. Die. Repeat.' Human dynamo Tom Cruise explores no less spectacular Sci-fi realms in writer/director Joseph Kosinski's visionary Post-Apocalyptic adventure 'Oblivion' which concerns weary maintenance worker Jack Harper, and fellow 'good team' member Victoria (Andrea Riseborough), Jack's super-dilligent, borderline robotic, exquisitely beautiful 'eye-in-the-sky partner who stoically monitors his day-to-day salvage, and monotonous drone repairs, their increasingly uneasy alliance is driven to breaking point by the wholly unexpected crash-landing of a decades old NASA satellite, whose sole living survivor is Julia (Olga Kurylenko), and her extraordinary claim of her being Jack's long estranged wife expedites a tumultuous series of extraordinary, reality-wrecking events that disturbingly suggest their seemingly banal work detail has an altogether more sinister purpose! With another stalwart, coolly enigmatic performance by the imperious Morgan Freeman as rebel leader Beech, some immaculate production design, breath-takingly energized, high-flying action, and a sublime, other-worldly good score by electronic sound-master M83, the audacious 'Oblivion' is a sleekly stylish, cerebrally satisfying Sci-fi masterpiece.
