Talented or what
I would rather not, the one old man is annoying enough.
They didn't get inside, they couldn't make it 20 feet to get inside the doors.... it was too tough for the humans,
👌👍
I don't even want 1 Tom Cruise. F*ck his couch, I'm Rick James.
To commenters here asking why "Sally" is letting Jack into the Tet, it's simple. It thinks that if it can clone Julia, then Jack and Julia will make for a more effective team.
Yeah, Jack has worked out how Sally thinks at this point, and that's especially effective since Sally continues to struggle when it comes to understanding humans.
But wouldn't a more effective team just be repair droids? Why does it need cloned people in the first place? For that matter, why exactly does such an advanced civilization need to ravage inhabited planets? Surely there are plenty of ways to get resources, etc.
@@beyerch The drones are pretty dumb, and not particularly adaptable.
We don’t know if they’re replaceable either, and they might require resources to simply run. Notably the Tet is really sparing with them. It has thousands, but refuses to deploy them in adequate numbers.
And who knows what the Tet is actually for or who built it. Again, it’s not staggeringly smart either, it shows massive blind spots in everything requiring creative thinking. Most of it’s plans and schemes are copied from things it’s observed humans doing.
@@beyerch yeah, I get that. The prevalence of water in the universe makes all alien invasions of Earth for water unnecessary.
As for cloning humans, maybe there is something human ingenuity that makes a clone more effective than a drone or robot for certain tasks.
@@Tommykey07 TET _doesn't want our water._ Every single thing she tells Jack is a Lie, so why does anyone; even plot hole finders, _believe that cover story?!_ TETs mission is clearly Genocide, Terraforming and likely Energy Caching. TET is very likely the alien equivalent of Mars Perserverance probe and Ingenuity Copter/Drone.
I have proof. Listen to Col
Beemon's speech as Jack Fixes the Drone he says "taking energy", not taking water.
I didn't notice that clue until recently, but I never believed Sally.
Story and the theme tune are amazing, this film doesn't get the appreciation it deserves
Fully agree. I want more of this stuff.
I love this part of the score. I believe its Raven Rock when he tells Jack about the invasion. I watch that scene often. Its called Welcome Back Commander on here.
And the sound effects are next-level. Some of the best I have ever heard. Ben Burtt* would be proud of what they accomplished. This movie is definitely super underappreciated.
* Ben Burtt is the sound effects genius who gave the original Star Wars its unique groundbreaking sound and for which he won a well deserved Academy Award.
Sure it does. I've seen it half a dozen time, and love it still.
Agree absolutely. A modern classic.
Best line throughout history;
How can a man die better,
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods.
Highly underrated movie.
Totally! Although my favorite non-historical line is "I created you Jack, I am your God!" ............... "F* you Sally" 😂
@@SirKolass Haha and what do you know about me? I'm a history fan and love to read books. I know many great quotes, but Horatius speech at the bridge is still my favorite quote throughout history.
@@SirKolass It's a wee bit presumptuous to sidle in and tell a complete stranger what they do and don't know.
@@SirKolass Oh yeah? What part exactly? Please do tell.
Horacio Cocles
“I created you jack, I am your god” I ain’t gonna lie that was a raw line by that robot.
The way it's voice is modulated when saying "god" gives me chills
And in that moment looks over to Morgan Freeman, the true face of god.
This reminds me of this : When AI gained consciousness, somebody asked it, "Is there a God?", the AI replied, "There is now"
@@PaliVCiernom : "Answer" by Frederick Brown. Also, Sally should have done more reading (listening?) before assaulting Earth. Humans have a predisposition to killing off our gods.
i would have just smiled and said "I'm atheist bitch" and pressed the button.
M83 did the most incredible job scoring this film. The music within the entire film is a masterpiece.
oh damn, they did the scoring? 😳
I love how the Blu-ray disc has the option of watching the movie with only the music score playing on the audio. They should have done the same thing for Tron: Legacy.
Amazing!
I actually listen to this soundtrack on a regular basis. It has such a great vibe throughout.
@@RobTheDoodler At least someone else listens to it as often as I do.......even after all these years
I like that little noise "Sally" makes when Jack refers to Rome as a city she destroyed. Like a sound of surprise "how did you know that?"
That was pretty neat. Never noticed before, it’s almost like it’s way of “narrowing” its eyes as if to listen intently knowing there’s an angle to the story
I never noticed it either ... it's so alien, yet clearly a reaction
What minute does it happen ?
@@Gidovon 3:31
@@operatorlxix5839good catch!
"Everybody dies, the thing is to die well"
Those few lines/quote from Horatius give me goosebumps every time... If only each of us could have such an end.
This is one of my favourite lines, along with Mr Miyagi's "is ok lose to opponent, must not lose to fear"
@WHJeffB he didn't mean dying in the most glorious way possible. Like he doesn't expect everyone to solo an army by themselves. He meant dying in the most honorable way possible. He means dying by staying true to yourself no matter what life throws at you and be willing to sacrifice everything for it. 2:43
@@danielbalderrama4137 Not that it makes any real difference in the long run!
2:47 Jack's reaction to seeing all the clones is really heart-breaking. Great acting from Tom and M83's music makes the scene even better.
Best comment 👍🏻
he realises that he was only single drop in the ocean of clones.
M83 - Fearful Odds is this music ?
like him or not as a person
Cruise always delivers on the screen
Exactly. I don’t care what he believes, I don’t care that he doesn’t seem to have a sense of humor, he does his job well.
tom cruise is one of the best actors their are, their are so many movies were hes absolutely amazing but everyone rags on him because he's a bit nuts and a scientologist
@@matthewhummel1572 Doesn't have a sense of humor? Les Grossman would like to have a word with you.
Sure, he may be a Scientology shill, but he's the only dude doing decent, original sci fi these days. He fills the Verhoeven vacuum.
yeah everytime mention that. Doesn't make it better.
This movie, "Oblivion" and "Edge of Tomorrow", are my favorite Tom Cruise movies. Both are very similar in their narrative.
They both came out at nearly the same time and they were both largely ignored. They both had terrible marketing campaigns and a bunch of problems. But the movies themselves are a couple of the best ever.
@@CalvinHikes I agree with the marketing problems charge. But curious what you mean by "other problems". The stories themselves were solid.
same, the deep dark violent stuff I see at the moment is worrying
I remember when edge of tomorrow used to be called Live Die Repeat
you know he didn't make them? he's literally just an actor
This movie is a visual feast. The depiction of a ravaged earth is breathtaking. The design of the matching off-white equipment, vehicles, and interior of the ‘zone towers’ is very stylish and straight from a possible IKEA Tet range - that I wish existed. The Tet itself is a an amazing thought provoking idea - and scarily plausible as a first contact parasite.
I like the way the Tets skin would fold and ripple as it was computing, doing calculations. I think that even as a smart AI it couldn't understand subterfuge, deception and the willingness of organics to sacrifice themselves for their species. The Needs of the Many. It had a certain amount of guile, but it's chess moveset is limited: it can't deal with an organic opponent that feels a powerful and complex emotion such as Love, that causes it to behave illogically, willing to sacrifice itself instead of surviving at all costs. It assumes pain and pleasure are the operating principles of organics and thus assumes that they cannot transcend these basic drives and are incapable of anything else. Thus was the "all powerful" Tet, the insipid space mining probe, destroyed.
Especially as an AI.
There is a fan theory on Reddit that the Tet, is an intelligent life form similar to mankind with yeh difference being yeh tet is 100s of millions of years ahead of us in evolution
The visuals are striking, but the sound design is just as inspired.
@@ozymandias1758 ok so the terrorists who blow themselves up feel LOVE?
I love that ripple effect they added to Sally's true form. They could have easily made her just a solid object, like the TET, but that little bit of movement just makes her seems all the more alien.
Also, that last line of hers, "I created you Jack. I am your God." couldn't be more perfect.
The way Morgan Freeman offered Tom to press the button is quite symbolic
Note the huge smile of Freeman's face as the bomb was detonating. He REALLY was looking forward to that moment, as alluded to earlier.
I understood it like he was saying "After that bullshit it said about being God, I guess you'll enjoy doing this just as much as I will!"
@@chriswhite3692 I love how Cruise is all dramatic whlie Freeman's face is like "haha I finally got you, you bitch"
Subsurface
@@chriswhite3692 I watched this movie countless times and that I just noticed. He was so happy
Yeah this movie was a masterpiece. It's sad that it doesn't seem to get the recognition it deserves. The film does sci fi justice.
A masterpiece?
meh
When I saw it in theaters it made me sleep long and boring
Interstellar does sci-fi justice. This is just bad
@@witcher348 Different categories. Interstellar is hard sci fi.
I love that when he said "I want Julia to live, I want our species to survive... this is the only way" he was being 100% truthful so he passed the voice-stress test with flying colors 😁
As others have said, this is a tragically underrated one; sure the astrophysics would never make it into a textbook, but it's a fun, stylish sci-fi movie with a jaw-dropping score.
Just watched this movie yesterday, I still can't stop thinking about it.
What was the astrophysics part, I don't remember.
I do remember that alien computer thing was taking years to separate out enough heavy hydrogen from Earth's water for its fusion engine, to go to the next world.
But I can't even remember what it was trying to accomplish.
Who cares about astrophysics part lol, it's science FICTION for a reason
@@RWZiggy the questionable astrophysics are probably stuff like... apparently instant / reliably fast communication between the tet and its drones; harper uses the same helicopter-thing to fly into space and get to the tet (and so do the drones); I forget what else. but I do remember feeling that this movie is very not hard sci fi
@@awelotta the Tet was in Earth orbit though so why would there be much delay? Radio signal can reach the moon from Earth in 1.35 seconds at farthest distance, so delay to orbit hundreds or even few thousand miles is nothing. I always thought the Bubble Ship used fusion as engines, they had the bright blue flames of the other Tet fusion tech such as drones.
I love the smile on Malcolm’s face - the pure joy of knowing he dies well.
He's like, "You mad, bro?"
No matter how many times you've watched this Movie, it always feels fresh
makes you wonder why all that effort for earths water why not other water sources for fusion power that's a head scratcher right there🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@raven4k998 if you look at other movies or books where the aliens come for our water, its because its in liquid form versus frozen in most other places. easier to wipe out the "primitive" lifeforms for an easier form of water.
@@viper2165 what does that have to do with the tet it's wiping us out from water starvation silly
@@raven4k998 There was not enough backstory on the TET, one could assume that it was harvesting planet after planet and we were just another stepping stone especially if it was a biological entity, if it was evolved A.I., then it was probably just surviving, and Earth just happened to be the closes target. It could've also been part of a larger collective and that was just it's quadrant and again Earth was the closest target, nothing like a fresh source of Deuterium
@@raven4k998 oh silly, its easier to take the water when there is not resistance from the locals. duh
This is a very underrated movie! And one of my favorites in the sci-fi space genre.
True
@@TradDad1 - lol, that’s a fair question. 🤣🤣🤣
It made nearly $300 million worldwide. The word underrated does not mean what you think it means.
After blowing up the oil refinery robot ship…what happens next? Another one is sent to restart the pipeline?
its scifi space? but its all happens in earth tho
Oblivion is so seriously underrated. It's on my very short list of the greatest sci-fi movies.
Tron: Legacy is my favorite movie of all time, so underrated till this day.
When I found out that Joe Kosinski was making another movie (Oblivion) I was SO onboard! I can confidently say that this one is also a gem of a movie, unfortunately is also underrated.
I’m so glad that Top Gun Maverick did so well, and Joe Kosinski is FINALLY getting the recognition he deserves.
His ability to blend music, effects, and acting to deliver emotion is exceptional
Tron legacy wasn't a great movie and this one neither (for me) but the Ost and the fusión with the scenes in both móviles are just wonderfull. . I'll give him a 10 in soundtrack selection.
@@marceguregiazyk6735 they were both great you're just a clown
I had tron legacy on dvd and watched it over and over, what a visual, audio, emotional masterpiece
An under-rated movie and really worth a look. A straightforward story with not a superhero, dinosaur or light sabre to be seen.
Or phaser. Be fair now
id reallly like to see the version with a dinosaur superhero carrying a lightsaber
so sick of frigging superhero movies
you're acting as if this sci-fi movie about an alien intelligence which cloned the crew of the ship discovering it in order to take over the world doesn't suffer from the sheer _silliness_ of having dinosaurs, superheroes or lightsabers. and I'm here to tell you it does. it's awesome, but it's as wish-fulfilment escapism as all the films you're sneering it
Not really, kinda unrealistic the alien would let them in with a nuke
The fact that we are here commenting proves this movie has got the appreciation it deserves. Well done guys!
“How can a man die better than facing fearful odds in the ashes of his father and the temple of his gods.”
Only Tom Cruise give me chills with a poem like that.
The most beautiful part of a poem I have ever heard.
For sure... Goosebumps every time I see/hear this.
"Thus spake brave Horatio, the captain of the gates. For all man death cometh soon or late. And how can men die better than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his gods?"
Why would anyone be in the ashes of their fathers?
Another great example would be the use of "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night," by Dylan Thomas, in Interstellar.
This is one film I really regret not seeing at the theater. It really is an epic story. The visuals, acting and soundtrack really sell it.
Do you not have a home theater setup? I assume that is what you mean, an epic video & audio experience as in a cinema & not the crowd experience (sometimes there are only 2 or 3 other people watching with you in the large theater).
@@robwebnoid5763 it’s different. Back those days my husband rent one for us only to watch that on really wide screen. That was the best that ever was😎🥤🍿
I forgot how bad this movie was
Back when AMC had sliced pizza that was good. Just like Tron.
@@hardcoreromeo2111 Julia was the only bad actor. Her emotions were dumb.
This is one of those sci-fi movies that got not much attention when it came out. I loved it and re-watch from time to time. I remember seeing the trailer and being intrigued by it, was not disappointed, especially since the trailer didn't gave the plot away like many trailers back then and since. I think it's one of those movies that will be a classic in the future.
Lmao it did it made around 300 million. It just got forgotten a bit is all
@@christopherlyndsay8611 Yeah, it did money, but it didn't made much of an impact when it was in theaters. Unlike other movies back then that were much more popular (Marvel was already in control of the box office lol).
@@The_Curious_Catbc its very unoriginal, Human clones, machines taking over, a nuke to blow up a mothership we've seen it in far better movies like The Matrix, Independence day and even 2001
Love this movie..I watch it a couple times per year..the story ,acting, casting are perfect.
Watch "Edge of Tomorrow" if you don't know it, you'll love it.
@@strix0708 Absolutely!
As perfect as a 1969 Plymouth? 👍👍👍
Except the Russian woman. Her acting is terrible.
@@ejkalegal3145 *ukranian
You spend your entire life fighting an impossible, unwinnable war, and in your last moments, you get to see it all end in victory - I can understand the elation on Morgan Freeman’s face.
I Am a Roman. I know where Oratius fought his battle. It was on Sublicius bridge... from legend to Sci-FI, marvellous!
Tom Cruise always delivers. Best actor imo. His movies are all way above quality and excellent
TC is a professional. It is always about the audience.
He seems to never make a bad movie.
Agreed. He’s a lunatic of a person but I love his films.
Look evil in the eyes when you pull the trigger… Don’t turn away, own that moment.
Look at Freeman's face when the bomb is going off.
Great saying
Criminally underrated film and Cruise is excellent in it. Plus a truly great music score
This movie as been out for a decade and i still get chills watching it. The mystery of the tet is so intriguing
Many believe machines will be the ones to colonise other worlds or at least get them ready for their masters. Space is very dangerous for life but machines have that advantage.
This is probably Tom's last movie of not looking old.
yea, I kinda noticed. Maybe Edge of Tomorrow since it wasn't too long after this.
Well he is 60
@@CatfishMan131 The wall hits everyone.
I was literally just thinking this!
He's still pretty damn handsome for 60
I love this flick. Tom is always delivering in the Sci-Fi genre....
Tom Cruise (or his agent) sure have a gift for picking the right scripts. Oblivion, Minority Report, Edge of Tomorrow, 3 of the best scifi films out there.
The end track is so beautiful, I love staying to hear it, goosebumps...
There’s a great live recording on Jimmy Kimmel here on UA-cam. M83’s drummer is a rocker!
When i hear it, i am thinking that i am middle of war and we are outnumbered so we sacrifice ourselves to the last breathe for our land and our families and loved ones to live
Beautiful score, cinematography, cgi/vfx, sounds design, set design & great acting.
I can see why Tom cruise gets so much work, he's a really talented actor. He also recently had his car stolen by a bunch of chavs in Birmingham, England
And he couldn't catch up by sprinting? :O
Not to worry. He's what? OT IV? He can uncreate it.
Thomas Shelby will take care of that 😄
Are you his number one fan?
He is one of the best actor, everey movie he step into they are always amazing
While many have said this is an underrated movie - and it is - I can see this becoming a cult classic, if its not already. I loved this movie, the whole premise, the pacing, the unbelievable score, the cinematography, everything was spot on. I watch this at least 2 or 3 times a year. Bravo!
Same here. This movie is yet another example to why you should not listen to the movie critics.
@@andreas956 I never listen to Critics, they are all self centred jerks trying to justify their pay cheques. Plus everyone likes different things. Always see for yourself.
I thought the movie was very uninspired, it was a mix of better sci fi movies. The evil AI is from 2001 and The Matrix (Morgan Freeman is even dressed as Morpheus). The "I am your God" is a clear rip-off of "I am your father". The nuke in the mothership is taken from Independence day.
However i did like the twist ending with Morgan Freeman being there instead of his wife and I liked Tom Cruise but he's always good.
It is .already classic
5:14 i love the wide smile, ready to face infinity's next passage with a friend
Damn there's a lot of empty space inside the Tet.
Yeah a better place for all the Mexicans and Indians to move to
When aesthetics trumps functionality.
@@death_parade The Tet already has a God complex. It's fitting it makes itself a nice spacious place to sit on its throne.
It seemed to be an entity rather than a ship, possibly a "jupiter brain" type of creation.
It probably reconfigures the area to turn it into a training ground and education area etc for the Clones? Possibly space for reaction mass? But yes totally agree
This is in my Top 5 sci-fi movies of all time. Music and production design are fantastic. And the pacing is a nice change from constant fights and stuff blowing up.
What are your top fives ?
@@sydenhamfortune2308 Dune (new one), Aliens, Blade Runner, 2001
@@jcolvin2 Great list, mine is Star wars and interstellar instead of Aliens and 2001
The smile on Morgan Freeman's face when they push the button: priceless!
Of course Morgan Freeman himself is God.
Something I noticed that was really cool about the journey to meet Sally was how her voice became more robot-like the deeper he went in. Really made it more intimidating on the way to discovery.
The recorded voice sample has limited vocabulary, so it had to synthesize pronunciation of new words, leading to the more robotic speech.
It wasn't "Edge of Tomorrow", but it was a damn fine bit of science fiction.
Cruise winds up being in some pretty amazing stuff...
@@LayneBenofsky He's choosing the scripts man. He has fine taste.
Four excellent blockbuster sci fi that i can think of, the one you mention, this, Minority Report and War of the Worlds and he did each of them justice gave his all. A great movie star, a pro.
I'm not a Tom Cruise fan by any stretch of the imagination but this is an awesome movie. Loved the Jack Reacher movies too.
You may not have been a fan, but sounds like he got you eventually 😉
Not my favourite actor either but most of his sci-fi movies are very good, somehow the post apocalyptic/dystopian vibes work with him very well.
You really have to see "The Edge of Tomorrow"
Also a masterpiece 👍
Man he was amazing in Collateral .. played such a ridiculous villain. I highly recommend you watch it. One of Jamie Foxx's best roles too. Way underrated film.
@@edwardmowton9825 Absolutely. There were a few moments in Collateral where I went completely cold.
A true science fiction masterpiece. Beautifully shot, amazingly scored. The story is fun and engaging and makes you think. It pulls you in so you don't sit there thinking "that's not right" or "that wouldn't work that way" because you just don't care... it does in that world.
My absolute favorite movie of all time! Cruise is amazing and the audio mixing and the drone sounds perfection.
I absolutely loved this movie and the score / soundtrack was stunning hey!!
Soundtrack created by M83
i love the soundtrack of this movie
2:28 gravitation kicks in
I remember when this movie came out I couldnt stop listening to the ending song by M83. Even just hearing this scene build up to the song is so beautiful. Oblivion and Edge of tomorrow really hit the spot for bittersweet endings👌
Susanne Sundfor has some pipes that's for sure.
One of the attractive things about this film is the surreal sense of despair that the world has been completely lost to an Alien entity.
It's not often you see a dystopian invasion go as far as this, even War of the Worlds was a cakewalk compared to what happened to Earth here.
The ending is fitting and gives a sense of hope, it makes you wonder how long it would take to reverse-engineer the technology in case another Tet ever arrives.
Well, they have plenty of Techs to help with the reverse engineering.
The Tet is one of my favorite sci-fi entities. So far away from humanity yet still flawed.
...evil...
Gorgeous cinematography, and perfect score.
I really hope that since Tom & the director of this movie had a big score with Maverick, that we get to see them team up again for a sequel to this amazing film. Either a continuation or a prequel would be amazing.
Maybe not a sequal but something at least level up to this astute. Its not that i don't want a sequal but base on my experiences, rarely sequals can top the first one especially in sci-fi, because the first one have this element of discovery and surprise.
Please no, let some movies remain monoliths
@@Nightdare Probably what people said about Top Gun
@@PETrov_Yo The director basically said that the entities that created the Tet, have uploaded their own consciousness into a digital format, and possibly where housed within the Tet, because of the vast distances of interstellar travel. Definitely a lot of fertile ground for additional stories 🙌🏾
@@PETrov_Yo
Like Independence day 2?
So watering down a good movie to the level of a cheap ass moneygrab?
One of the best Sci-Fi films out there in my opinion.
Great Sci-fi- and its also cool to have a different villain to the norm. A sentient AI which uses clones as a weapon is pretty novel, and makes the reveal all the more disturbing.
It's a great thematic idea, hostile aliens using clones of a well-respected hero of humanity as an army to attack humanity. It would be like if moon creatures attacked Earth after the moon landing with an army of millions of Neil Armstrongs. Very demoralizing.
Ill never tire of this movie... fresh every time I see it.
Glad you posted this. I've tried multiple times and could never get through this movie. Thank You.
All the so called 'plot holes', this movie has are simply lack of information, which is intentional. We're not supposed to know exactly what the Tet is, how it works or thinks, it is meant to be mysterious.
one of the best movie i ve seen in my life.
thank you to all the actors and the crews for making this movie.
Man I keep rewatching this movie. Beautiful
Such an underrated movie. The story, the visuals, the cast, the music, everything was amazing
The movie is a sci fi masterpiece. Imagine an AI so vastly powerful that it takes control over an alien species just by utilizing and mastering the very nature of that species; genetically (ectogenesis), neurologically (it litterary can read, write and rewrite memories directly into neural networks), culturally etc. I have NEVER ever seen AI utilising such vast power and creativity in ANY previous science fiction.
An absolute gem of the sci fi genre!
This is a sci fi classic and such an underrated film
I hope they make a prequel out of this.
Such an underrated movie!
M83 really needs to go on tour again. Hearing this song live was amazing
I like that, "How can a man die better?"
Then out spake brave Horatius,
The Captain of the Gate:
“To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,

Haul down the bridge, Sir Consul,
With all the speed ye may;

And keep the bridge with me?
@@glennet9613 Love this. Takes true courage and love to be this man.
@@glennet9613 Truly epic quote... "How can a man die better" Indeed.
One of my favorites. The mood. The music. The Acting, the simple story, the color grading, the impecable cinematography by Claudio Miranda, the framing of Joseph Kosinski.... Quite a beloved movie in my heart.
Great how he has to tell the truth to get in. The Tet misunderstood why he was there. Freeman smiling as they go out. Brilliant stuff.
I love Oblivion, but Tet giving them access to the station was far too easy. A superintelligence just opening up the inner hull just like that didn't add up. Even without scanning it would've never let them in, simply using logic. The Tet knew several fuel cells were missing. Other than that I freaking love Oblivion.
Excellent point; _But Only If,_ you assume pure logic, no malfunction, perfection in tactics, _and_ lack of hubris. There's *nothing in the plot,* to justify those assumptions! However, the statement "I am your God" validates my assumption that you overestimate TET. It's vocal issues while granting Jack access also imply some problems processing. (A processor overload due to failing/completely unplanned situation?)
@@Alvan81 Letting Jack into the very core of the mothership served no real purpose and giving access and thereby risking the very existence of the TET outpost. It makes no sense and a superintelligence wouldn't make such a mundane mistake. Also not having a couple of drones nearby is highly unlikely. They would've obliterated them the very second something was amiss.
@@theuniversewithin74 Why do you assume it was _the core?_ it appears to be the inner part of the outmost layer. Maybe it was merely the Human Interface/Training/Birthing Area.
Hence adjacent to the clone storage/maturation nest. Is your Computer Screen and Keyboard the same as your CPU? Maybe maybe not. Human beings are super intelligent and we make mistakes all the time.
"I am your God" is evidence of a great deal of error/fallabilty, ego. Which again support my point.
The purpose? is to get a more Ideal Partner/Hostage or Specimen.
Look, it's a movie a so they gave the TET flaws. But there are flaws in your assumptions also, that's my point.
In my mind TET isn't the 'superintelligence' it's the alien version of Mars Perserverance/ingenuity.
Tet is likely phase I terraforming bot. That's my theory.
@@Alvan81 doesn't matter if it was the core or not. It was inside and absolutely devastating if a large bomb went off. Just letting the ship close to the TET was reckless enough. Isn't it odd that the TET had protocols and procedures for just about anything, but none for what mattered the most?
@@theuniversewithin74 Regards protocols. No machine has protocols for _every scenario,_ especially mutiny/treachery. Jack already beat/short circuited _several layers of contingencies,_ maybe TET was winging it. Anyway I love the movie; so anyone who enjoys it is entittled to their own ideas!😄
TET is the alien version of the Mars Rover, here to Terraform not a super intelligent alien.
I always preferred this over "The Edge of Tommorrow" partly because i'm not a big fan of time travel movies but also, it has a good story and some really cool elements in it. Plus the music ("Oblivion" by M83) is perfect for it. Awesome movie. 😊👍
Edge of tomorrow is so stupid this movies way better! 👍
A highly underrated movie IMO.
This scene with the menacing drones and an abyss like alien spaceship was breathtakingly terrifying.
I love how the attack drones just fall from the sky. It's a classic
Excellent film, so underrated, a must see if you're a sci-fi fan & haven't seen it
Great movie, underappreciated. Desing & atmosphere is almost 10/10 all through, good story, the role is perfect for Tom Cruise.
Already watched the movie more than 10 times in last 6 to 7 years.. highly underrated movie..
I absolutely love this movie! I will watch it 1000 times and never get tired of it.
One of the best sci-fi films ever.
So phenomenal to see TC doing sci-fi!
Awesome monologue here by Tommy.
This is such a good sci fi movie. Reminds me of the cover art from classic sci fi novels.
2 thumbs up for Tom's effort in this brilliant analysis of why E.Ts would find Earth so interesting.
Nah, aliens wouldn't need to go through so much trouble for water: plenty of that, or ice, on uninhibited planets, asteroids etc.
@@nicomeier8098 yeah and the fact that you only need hydrogen and oxygen to make it two of the most common elements in the universe and if you lack either chemistry is a thing you can use to break stuff down to their component parts
Maybe they want the salt 🧂
@@nicomeier8098 They don't want the water! Virtually -every single thing_ Sally said was lies. So why assume the water part was true?!?
My theory is that Sally is Phase One Terraforming/Extermination for the race that created her. Converting seatwater into energy/steam/cooling mechanism might also mean they are hoarding energy. It takes obscene amounts for each interstellar jump or planet terraforming.
@@lordmeepers7297 I made another post, but the Water is a Red Herring. One more in an endless string of lies. Sally is there for terraforming and or extermination or both IMO.
Converting seawater to superheated steam, lowering the Ocean Levels does both.
I'm guessing TET is hoarding energy as well.
The best sci-fi ever
The little subtle nod at 2.03 from Cruise is just awesome.. he is like "..wow, cannot believe that worked"...
You couldn’t get a better ambassador to a weird alien race than 'ol Tom.. .. After all, he believes in volcano living space aliens.
With all the lies we're told, who knows, he might be right.
@@johngalt5411 Uh,huh.
Whoosh little kiddo
Oh hey look it’s Jamie Lannister
He's the guy from Game of Thrones!

Man, I love that aircraft design.
I'm siding with others here: the special effects were mindblowing
as witnessed here, backed with great writing and acting from Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman.
Now, it was within a year or so from this movie ( perhaps longer ) that
Edge Of Tomorrow was released. Unfortunately, Oblivion didn't fare so well at the box office. Now, this is my opinion, but due to this poor showing Warner Brothers lazily promoted Edge of Tomorrow and it also floundered at the box office.
It Kicks Ass.
Sorry for the rant, these two films deserve the credit to be placed in the science fiction canon.
Only good thing about Oblivion was its single plot twist and its aesthetics. Everything else is 3rd rate.

I bow to your towering critique.
@@kzinful I don't. It was well paced, the music was outstanding, well acted. It was a very good movie.

I was being sarcastic ( lol ). There's always a room temperature critic lurking, and I agree with your assessment...Peace.
Oblivion gets better with age for me.
Really loved this movie! Definitely don’t want to think TOO hard, haha! But if you just sit back (like Star Wars), it’s a good one!
Wow can you imagine the amount of people you just offended XD
Haha yeah! Honestly, I love Star Wars but people think about it WAY too logically sometimes, lol!
“Why don’t they attack the AT-AT’s from behind? Why don’t they hyperspace empty ships into star destroyers? Etc etc “ 😂
It's no different from any other (science) fiction movie, or for that matter, poltiics, many religions, etc. 😉
@@gregoryf9299 As a star wars nerd i completely agree, some people take the films too seriously and wont shut up about plot holes
One of my favorite TC SciFi movies!
One of the best sci-fi movies ever... Music made by Zimmer and role played by Cruise are outstanding...
Esse final, essa frase e essa musica..isso é uma obra de arte. Pura arte. Grande filme esse.
One of my favorite movies. Tom Cruise makes every movie he’s in that much more amazing ❤️🇺🇸
This is one of those movies I don’t get tired of watching.
