    Storyline

    • 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.

    Fantastic visual effects ensure a gripping and entertaining film
    Before seeing this film in theaters it was tough to know what to expect. It immediately grasped my attention as the storyline was so different than anything I have seen as of late. Tom Cruise is the perfect man for the lead role, and does not fail to deliver a good performance. If you are a relatively simple person with a short attention span you may become a bit dazed and confused as to why certain components of the film are occurring, but it adds up in the end beyond measure. Although 'Oblivion' forces you to work slightly harder than usual in understanding the plot and each twist that it takes, it all comes together very well in this thrilling yet slightly confusing film. No doubt one of Kosinski's best so far.

    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?
