    Storyline

    Edit

    • Trivia
      There were ten days of location shooting in Iceland, where daylight lasted virtually 24 hours. Joseph Kosinski wanted to make a film that was very much based in daylight, considering that a lot of classic sci-fi movies like Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982) were shot in near darkness.
    • Goofs
      Vika's desk display shows Jack tapping out the word "Paradise" in Morse code to communicate with her, but the actual Morse code letters we hear are "a-d-i-s-t-r-a-e-e".
    • Quotes

      Jack Harper: If we have souls, they are made of the love we share... undimmed by time and bound by death.

    • Crazy credits
      The Universal logo features the Earth in its ruined state in 2077 in the film, with the logo's letters rusted.

      The Tet space station is seen orbiting the world.
    • Alternate versions
      The film's IMAX release presented the film open-matte, at an aspect ratio of 1.90:1, meaning there was more picture information visible in the top and bottom of the frame than in normal theaters and on home video.

    GREAT FOR THE SCIENCE FICTION FAN! And maybe everyone!
    They don't make many science fiction films these days. This was a pleasant surprise all throughout the film. Man did I like this film.

    And in my opinion. Tom Cruise really likes what he does, and works at his craft as an actor very seriously. In my opinion 95% of Cruises movies in the last 10 years have been good choices. And I'm sick of what the media says about his personal life.

    I am one who went and saw Prometheus with an open mind. And listened to what the director said about it NOT being an Aliens movie. And LOVED IT. Good Sci-fi. Such as this film.

    It definitely turned out to be something I wasn't expecting.

    Excellent Job by Everyone involved. Nice work Cruise!

    FAQ12

    • What is the purpose of all those random noises that the drones make? Is it a form of communication?
    • Is Oblivion based on a book?
    • Why did the Tet need Earth's seawater?
