I found 'Oblivion' to be a visually stunning exploration of memory, identity, and what defines humanity in a post-apocalyptic world. Tom Cruise delivers a solid performance as Jack Harper, and the film's sleek production design creates a compelling vision of Earth's future. The themes of artificial memory and questioning reality reminded me of elements I loved in 'Blade Runner 2049' and 'Total Recall'. While the plot becomes somewhat predictable in its final act, I appreciated the film's commitment to exploring philosophical questions about consciousness and free will. The cinematography is breathtaking, particularly in depicting the desolate beauty of a ravaged Earth, and the score effectively enhances the emotional weight of Jack's journey of discovery.
