Despite what everyone says or thinks about Tom Cruise, I will still watch the shit out of his movies. The guy knows how to entertain, and leaves all that other business at home.
All that said, I have been very excited to see him in OBLIVION. I’m also always down for another film in the sci-fi genre. Upon initially seeing the concept art, I was wondering how well it would translate from page to screen. It looks like Joseph Kosinski has done a fantastic job. A new photo from the film has popped up courtesy of the film’s facebook page. It’s Tom Cruise with this intense look on his face running from who knows what.
Jack Harper (Cruise) is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack’s mission is nearly complete. Living in and patrolling the breathtaking skies from thousands of feet above, his soaring existence is brought crashing down when he rescues a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. Her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces him to question everything he knows and puts the fate of humanity in his hands.
OBLIVION, starring Tom Cruise, Olga Kurylenko, Morgan Freeman, Melissa Leo, and Nicolaj Coster-Waldau, opens April 26, 2013.
