OBLIVION

I have been very lazy lately and didn't post much. Even this movie I watched a few weeks ago did not motivate me to do anything.

Starring Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman, this small cast movie was set in the future 2077 where Jack Harper is one half of a pair of repairmen with Victoria, helping the space station Tet to guard a sector of a futuristic earth against destruction by aliens known as Scavs. Their daily job involves checking out the sector and repairing the drones that malfunction within.

The problem was, Jack and Victoria's memories were erased and Jack has fragments of memories of a woman from a past unknown to him. His coincidental encounter with this woman Julia jolted him out of his senses.

The movie seemed to be suspended in limbo and there was little to save it from oblivion.
