This review smacks of a shameless plug. What you've done, seemingly, is to give it an attractive headline and then the rest of your review basically adds up to "great special effects, but overall… Meh". What's that about? It's one thing to give a 'balanced' review of the good and the bad, but this is just misleading (the thing is that I hated the film, saw your review headline and was appalled, read it expecting to disagree, and ended up nodding along… Is most disconcerting…. :p)

Olga Kurylenko is terrible.

The "cult film" is Moon. Put it together with Total Recall and you have Oblivion in a terrible nutshell. The only good thing about this is the final 5 minutes, when SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER a vagina version of HAL 9000 shows itself to be the big villain of all this crap. It's a great unintentional joke.

Hmm, u said it is familiar to a recent scifi cult hit and then throws in a reference to "Matrix" later. I still haven't seen the movie, but thanks dude.

Not sure why you mention "Disconnect" as questionable for Riseborough considering it's a really great movie that she's great in…

Frankly this is one of the worst SF movie I saw since… Prometheus. The script is so dull and emotionless, the characters are completely dumb (especially Kurylenko's), and the way everything is told and announced is horrible. Tron Legacy looks like a fabulous story now.. And visually it's nice but clearly not memorable..

Claudio Miranda didn't shoot "Avatar", Mauro Fiore did

There is an error in your article, Morgan Freeman does not play Morpheus in the Matrix as quoted in the paragraph before the end: "Melissa Leo is mostly behind a computer screen, while "Game Of Thrones" actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Morgan Freeman (playing Morpheus from "The Matrix") turn up some way into the film, but don't have time to make much of an impact". That one was Laurence Fishburne

No mentions of the m83 score in all of this?
