Oblivion

[89coupe]

This looks promising.

[Tik-Tok]

Wasn't he wearing that same yankees had in War of the Worlds? Is he trying to look normal to the rest of the world (who all thinks he's a fruitcake)?

[Markll7]

This'll be good but the director really needs to get back and make the Tron Legacy sequel.

[403Gemini]

Calling it right now:

Tom Cruise and that chick are the only two humans (that he knows about) as he says everybody else was "evacuated" after "we won the war"

We never won the war, the aliens did - that chick is in knowledge that they're working to kill any human life remaining for the aliens, Tom Cruise is none the wiser and just activating protocol droids which will do just that - exterminate any remaining humans. He finds group of survivors, finds out the "truth" that humans never did evacuate earth but went into hiding - assists in rebellion.

edit: and I bet he runs a lot.

Sounds about right, but why do you gotta articulate it so well

Just curious, but what does his sexual orientation have to do with his work? Does the fact that you've probably watched 90% of his movies make you gay too?

You know, just observing.

[blitz]

Isn't he talking about the whole crazy Scientology thing?

Fruitcake means not all there mentally. But yeah, his sexuality is questionable also.

I think Tik-Tok was calling him crazy, not gay... just my thoughts lol

I hear Tom Cruise is a super nice guy to his fans though, so as crazy as he is, I still enjoy his movies and it's nice to know/hear he's a nice person when you meet him.

[Tik-Tok]

Fruity = Gay
Fruitcake = Nuts


But yes, IMO he's a Fruity Fruitcake, lol.

My point was it's like he's trying to "humanize" himself... whether that's part of the movies plot, or that's just him trying hard to make himself look normal after all the bad press from recent years, I don't know.

...actors don't choose wardrobe...

If you think he really cares about what people (you) think, you're the fruitcake hahaha! He didn't get to where he did by worrying about his image. His work speaks for itself and that's all that should matter to you. You're not his friend, why should he change his behaviour, who he is, to please you?

Just curious...

Why so sensitive?

Just curious...

[ZorroAMG]

Not sensitive, no need to project :)

[schocker]

Saw this last night at mallzac. I thought it was pretty good and enjoyed the story along with the action.

[JAYMEZ]

I thought it was pretty good.. Slight twisted that was predictable , but I enjoyed it..

As for the NY hat.. First thing I thought of was World of Wars and I think this is a REALLY bad thing for a director to do (You shouldnt be watching a movie and thinking of another movie )

[turbotrip]

Fruitcake = wild homo

[RickDaTuner]

If you guys didn't catch on, this movie was a complete rip-off to the Portal games. Even The AI voice was dead on. The only thing missing was the companion cube, and an actual portal gun.

It was all in all a pretty good movie.

They also seemed to have taken a lot from 2001 a space Odyssey. Anyone else find that the first 3/4ths of the movie was awesome but the ending a bit rushed ?


*Spoiler Alert*


On a side note I would have paid 5 times the amount of ticket price to see a army of Tom Cruises coming out of space ships.

[jampack]

I watched this on the day it came out :D I thought it was pretty good! :thumbsup:

[403Gemini]

Was my prediction above correct? Somebody spoiler text a response so it doesn't "ruin" it for anybody else.

Great overall, agree it was a bit rushed at the end. They could have tacked on an extra half hour and it would have been fine.

fu gemini :D
You were pretty much correct, if you take a look on wikipedia they have the full plot and you can see how close you were

[Skidro]

I really liked the movie, the plot wasn't predictable and the droids were badass!
The way the UI for the computer/thing worked was also pretty cool, I wonder if they will make a game out of it

[403Gemini]

Read the wiki page...

nailed it ;)

[HHURICANE1]

Saw it last night. Better than I thought it would be but found it to be pretty predictable. Most of it has been done before in other movies. Effects were very well done and didn't detract from the story like a lot of movies these days.

[SneakyNeek]

this movie was terrible, only tom cruise is arrogant enough to fight himself in a movie

[TomcoPDR]

Q for those who's seen it

So the helicopter #49 was destroyed/crashed towards the end, and tech#49 tied up tech #52 in the desert, with tech #49 taking helicopter #52... so the ploy in the end was for tech#49 to bring back the foreign human back to mothership (to nuke it right); but wouldn't he (tech#49) be flying helicopter #52 back? And with the consistency of the intelligence of the aliens, there's no way the mothership can't detect it's actually helicopter #52 being flown back by tech#49???

[ZenOps]

This is pretty much exactly what I expected Matrix3 to be.

Maintain the machine, but then rebel at the end after realizing the truth.

[DeleriousZ]

I saw this a while back and really enjoyed the tech in it. The drones were SPOT ON, and the sky post was super cool, not to mention the bubble vehicle. Plot was ok, not amazing.

Really really wish we had a dolby atmos theater here to watch it in though. Those are the kinds of movies you go for the technical marvel, not the plotline.
