Just saw Oblivion.

It was worth it. For a sci-fi fix it was worth it.

1. It ws visually gorgeous

And it will tide me over until IronMan 3 and Star Trek: Into Darkness.

2. I read a couple of good reviews.

Probably will wait for Netflix, since I never go anywhere.

3. I really liked it. A little slower than I expected - but really beautiful.

4. I agree with it being a little slow in parts,

but there was a big pay-off at the end because they took time developing the characters.

5. I only saw the Making Of, getting back to the roots of Stanley Kubrick style effects

6. Hate to say it, but Tom Cruise was the right person for this role.

7. Hmm...

"Tom Cruise was the right person for this role."

You're not exactly convincing me to go see this, you know.

8. I'm not sure it was a compliment to him.

But I can't say more without giving out spoilers.

10. Don't care for TC - but good science fiction - in the mode of 2001 SO

I wa surprised -- this was not a just a shoot them up sci-Fi. It was cerebral, and thoughtful. It's fault is that it might be a bit slow for most people. But it was really beautiful... and had a great surprise plot .... not just not an action film.

This movie is for Sci-Fi fans --- and action fans too - especially the end.

It had in-depth story - increbdible world vison.

11. OK, getting interested now...

The films I like always get described as too slow these days, so that's definitely an endorsement.

Just read the imdb synopsis:

One of the few remaining drone repairmen assigned to Earth, its surface devastated after decades of war with the alien Scavs, discovers a crashed spacecraft with contents that bring into question everything he believed about the war, and may even put the fate of mankind in his hands.

As for slow, I remember seeing Aliens in the theatre when that came out. I enjoyed it, but I actually felt exhausted by the end of it like I'd been on a roller coaster. Heard someone say the other day that his 9-year old thought it was slow and boring.
