Which Surprise: that the Scavs were Human Survivors, or that Jack & Vicka were Clones??🤔Either way: "NOPE!!"
hi jen , when did you suspect ? a great underrated sci fi gem " predestination" is an aussie adaption of r a heinleins awarded short sci fi "- all you zombies" , written 1958
Most Underrated Sci-Fi that I can, and have been Recommending, for quite a while now😉is "The Black Hole" ('79)!
If you want to react to another good science fiction, I recommend: SUNSHINE with Cillian Murphy and Chris Evans, directed by Danny Boyle, basically it is about the sun is going out, and that is causing the agony of the earth, and a mission is prepared in a special ship that will go to the sun, to leave a nuclear bomb of the most powerful in history, to explode it in the sun, to revive it and make it shine again as always.
A great disaster sci fi movie : The Road.
One of Tom Cruise’s most underrated films. It has everything you would want from a sci-fi movie. The visual effects were top notch, great action sequences, an amazing soundtrack and an interesting story with some nice twists and turns.
This one was amazing in the theater.
It was also during his peak couch-jumping, "Tom Cruise is crazy" era... combined with a trailer that went too far in explaining what was going on.
Great movie, and also a lot of things around it that didn't go right.
Totally! This movie was superb!
The visuals were amazing. It looked so real.
The sound design on this movie is off the charts, truly. And really a good movie too.
Oblivion, Edge of Tomorrow, Looper, Interstellar and Ex Machina were all released around the same time. They restored my faith in classic sci-fi.
looper was just ok. easily forgettable compared to the rest you mentioned.
That was then. Lately...........
Lol it's funny you mentioned Edge of Tomorrow, the plot has a lot of similarities to Oblivion.
The ending is practically the same damn scene in both of them.
@@mnomadvfx Many of Tom Cruse's movies tend to have a similar premise, payout, and ending. Going back many years.
Now here we sit and wait for the new classic sci-fi movies.
The visual effects are a decade old and yet outshine most films today.
🏆
the sound design in this is something i vividly remember. its so memorable and cool the way the drones sound.
Done in LightWave 3D by Digital Domain.
I wouldn't say most
You treated 2014 like 1984
This movie was a hidden gem.
An insane behind the scenes detail: to make the house look like it was in the clouds, they sent a film crew to the top of a mountain for a month to film a 360° view of the sky at all times of day and weather conditions.
Then they built the house a few feet off the ground on a sound stage and surrounded it with a 42' tall by 500' long projection screen and used 21 projectors to fill that screen with the footage they took on top of that mountain. It had to have been a nightmare to get all those projectors working properly, but the results are stunning.
I guess that's what you get when architects make movies. He has an eye for this stuff, his movies are incredible.
Yes and the bubble ship and drones are real, practical, and look like they could really fly. An amazing movie indeed...
@@ClockworkDave
"I guess that's what you get when architects make movies"
*Cinematographers - after all they design and set up all the lighting stuff.
Visually (And audibly) STUNNING.
They actually built the "Bubble Ship" with Tom's input as a pilot. They had a full scale ship built, with working motorized doors, and rotating engines, as well as a mock up cockpit that actually spun on all three axis, so during the chase scene when you see the Seat Belt harnesses flapping around due to G Forces (or the actresses hair), That is really the actress and Tom in the 3D movement cockpit.
Tom:: "Are you okay ?"
Julia: "No !?!?!?!?!"
Yup, that was the actresses reaction to being flung around in her chair.
Underrated sci-fi: "Moon" with Sam Rockwell and "Solaris" with George Clooney. If you want something more mainstream that will get you more views, but is still awesome, "Minority Report" with Tom Cruise.
Moon is an absolute gem of a movie.
I agree on all these three. Jen, please do reactions on these!
Minority Report is better than Oblivion and Edge of Tomorrow. Of the movies I have watched with Tom Cruise, it's my favourite.
Oh gosh no. I remember watching Solaris and it's like watching paint dry.
The Solaris to watch is the 1972 one by Tarkovsky. The American remake is unbelievably dull
Clooney's Solaris is so boring i watched it once and that was more than enough would never watch it again. Moon is good tho
Tom Cruise make sure when he is piloting the aircraft in the movie that the piloting was realistically simulated . Everything he does was accurately portraits(most of the time). Even the ways he was handling his Rifle. He is just an perfectionist with little bit of an death wish. Respect 100% for his passion and love for his dream job.
The whole soundtrack is a banger
Yes, it is! I bought the soundtrack and listen to quite often to chill or focus at work.
" FREQUENCY " ,I don't know if it's considered sci-fi, but definitely falls under the underrated umbrella, I think you'll like it, staring Dennis Quaid and James Caviezel. ❤
I knew you would love the OST, like mentioned, M83 said that they greatly were inspired by Hans Zimmer music for Batman. They did an amazing job being inspired but not copying...putting they're amazing touch to it
Hey Jen, of all the reactors I follow and watch, you are the only one who truly appreciates the score and soundtrack. Back in the day I recorded movies onto audio cassettes just so I could experience them as if they were radio plays. Alien, Aliens and Blade Runner blew me away.
One last thing.... The "Chrysler Building" as you called it, is actually the Empire State Building. I know this because I had a 3D puzzle of it when I was a kid, and the top piece(which is what you see in the film), kept falling off of it. Also the fact that they were selling King Kong plushies points to it being the Empire State Building. 🤓
Thank you lol
You beat me to it, thanks.
This movie was what helped me fall in love with atmospheric techno music like M83, and also has my personal favorite visual aesthetic when it comes to post-apocalypse films. Definitely Tom Cruise's most underrated movie.
"You can't erase love..." Truer words have seldom been spoken. It's true, you cannot erase love, nor can you forget it or make it go away. But, there are days when I wish, I truly wish, I could.
I don't care what anybody says, this is one of my all-time favorite films, and I'm still pissed about how the movie critics trashed it when it came out... : (
The sound design was so friggin good, that stuck with me after I first saw it.
I loved this movie, its always been in my list of favorites. The movie was pretty much written just for Tom Cruise and the set was built surrounded with a massive screen that they projected 360 degree video shot from on top of a mountain to build the skies. They had to do that because the surfaces were so reflective it was the only way to make it look real was to get everything in the reflections.
The actress who played Julia was legitimately terrified when in the craft, it was on a gimbal and really did spin and turn upside down while filming.
The behind the scenes are definitely worth watching.
If I recall, the actress that played Victoria hated it, it was apparently a very lonely and isolating experience for her.
This is one of my favorite stand alone sci-fi movies. A story so immersive that it begs to be experienced further in a video game. I love the score, acting, cgi, direction and unique story.
Jen, you are one of three UA-camrs to react to this movie.. thank you for that.
🖖😎👍💕
As far for recommendations I will say:
1998 "Soldier" with Kurt Russell
2005 "Stealth" with Jessica Biel
2013 "Ender's Game" with Harrison Ford, Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld
2019 "Alita Battle Angel"
The next one is not really a sci-fi, but absolutly worth to watch, the anime movie: 2016 "Your Name" (original name: Kimi no na wa)
Soldier is such a hidden gem, I hope more people discover and react to it too.
All of those are bad except Alita.
Soldier is boring. I actually fell asleep in the theater during that, the first and only time I have ever done that.
Stealth is just plain dumb. Stealth iss the worst kind of hacky 2000's action/science fiction film.
Ender's Game is a soulless adaptation that got everything wrong, including the ages of the kids.
Alita is fun, underrated, a really nice movie. It also has a female lead character done right, in a time when that was (and is) all too rare.
@@TahiriVeila13ABY Hi, I enjoy the first book "Ender's Game" a lot, I understand that movies have a hard job to put it in a movie (the same case with Starship Troopers, the book is much better).
@@TahiriVeila13ABYAll bad "including" Alita. Over reliance on CGI and spectacle instead of innovation, writing and story
@@TahiriVeila13ABY You have no whimsy in your life heh
The score and sound design on this film are just outstanding.
Underrated movie. Got overshadowed by Edge of Tomorrow, which is also excellent.
I forgot how fucking amazing this movie was. The aesthetic and soundtrack are top tier 👌🏻
A great piece of sci-fi. One of my favorites.
"You can't erase LOVE!" ...
Yes! Such an underrated movie. Getting M83 to do the soundtrack was a masterstroke. I'm curious what Jen will think.
*32:06*
*The music in the background gives me chills, when I can’t stop listening to it.*
Happy you loved it Jen. ❤
21:17 unofficial wisdom nugget " you can't erase love " 🙂 good one Jen 🔥
A worthy selection, Ian!
Logan's Run (1976). It has a very different story but the vibe is similar. I suspect it was one of the influences for Oblivion.
It's kind of if you threw Logan's Run, Planet of the Apes and some Star Trek episodes about The Borg into a blender. And that IS a compliment.
Ah I've always loved this movie, I could listen to those drone noises all day long
It sounds like Stellaris music, synth/orchestral, epic space vibes.
The thing that really stands out to me about this movie is the design. It's really well done. And, yeh, it's a lot better than some people have made out.
What elevated this film for me was the use of Macaulay, and his "Lays of Ancient Rome", one of my favourites.
"...and how can a man die better,
than facing fearful odds,
for the ashes of his fathers,
and the temples of his gods..."
The music for this movie is the standout for me. I really love the movie, but that music!!! The song at the end gets me every time. "Undimmed by Time" Lone pianos always get me.
Same for the song "Memories" (someone we'll never know) from Moon.
Jen, you do everything the coolest - and your subs should be double.
🏆
Thanks! Maybe someday :)
So haapy to see this! Yeah, I forgot to mention the score! That and the production quality is what sets it apart. Amazing movie. I watch it every chance I have. Thanks Jen for sharing your reactionù1

@@jenmurrayxo Thank you, Jen, I can't remember all your reactions. I've just added a few more.
Love every recommendation here Adam. I think she would really enjoy 'Moon' with Sam Rockwell.
@@e.d.2096 I think so too, Eric, it's a really underrated film, one which I think Jen would really enjoy.
Based on your enthusiasm for M83 (the band, not the galaxy), I'll have to check them out. I really like the song that plays over the end credits. Jen, you are consistently terrific. You just don't do subpar reactions.
Thanks kevin! :)
"Moon" is out of this world......
Like Edge of Tomorrow didn't initially find the audience it deserved. Love the song, love the movie.
This movie really took me by surprise. It was so good. Yeah, some schmalz but not too much. But it's really the audio of the movie that sells it. I loved the sound effects of the drones, for instance. And M83's score is really good. The closing theme also called "Oblivion" which features Norwegian singer Susanne Sundfør is soooo good. Something about that French horn holding those looong drawn notes just spoke to me. It was also covered by Dutch singer Floor Jansen with a more metal arrangement and that one also works really well. Worth checking out, Jen. Great reaction. That jaw drop when you recognised Morgan Freeman's voice was the highlight for sure. :) Looking forward to the next one.
Paycheck, Next are two underrated movie adaptations of Philip K. Dick's stories.
Whole soundtrack was dope. I dig this movie. Don’t think it gets enough love.
I was pretty sure you would like this one. As for the twist, I started to get suspicious at about the third "effective team"
Yeah, I didn't quite know what was going on, but the "Effective Teams" bit and that Sally was so obviously compiled from some prexisting fottage really triggered my "Something ain't right" radar pretty early on.
Cool movie ! Nice visuals and audio 🤘
One of my favorite movies...and I'm not just talking Tom Cruise movies. Couldn't wait to see you react to this Jen.
Something that's always struck me as strange about this movie is how quickly Julia gives up on the original Jack. Even after she finds out that 49 is a clone, she doesn't seem to care at all what happened to her actual husband. It just seemed like a really inhuman reaction to me. There should have been a period where she rejects 49 as "not her husband," and is obsessed with finding the original Jack, who, for all we know, may have been alive (along with the original Vika) in stasis aboard the Tet so it could harvest their cells for clone-making purposes.
I have no idea why this film isn't more highly rated and well known, it's a sci-fi gem.
Love this one. Great effects. Good actors and music . Always listen with my 100 dollar ear buds. Thanks Jen. Hello from Pa USA. ❤❤❤❤❤😂
Listening to "I'm Sending You Away" always gives me chills.
The amount of practical effects that this movie has is amazing. That's why it looks so good. It's a gorgeus movie, it has an amazing and powerful sound, great acting... loved it on cienmas, it looked huge.
the "Fuck off.." was great when she saw the second Jack lmao
So happy you did this reaction Jen. Cool movie. Watched it several times. However I'm always sad the version of Jack that sacrificed himself is the one who's journey we as the audience spent 95% of the movie following, before the shocking reveal of the other Jack clone.
The other clone is a lucky man ending up at the cabin with Julia and her adorable daughter. Instant family.
Side note: The fictional bubbleship aircraft Jack flys is awesome. I want one.
Just popping by to wish everyone an amazing time , have fun in chat and don't forget to LIKE the video to help Jen and the channel out 👍 Jen's not just the best she's also the caterpillars kimono 👘
Yeeeessss this film is so under-appreciated, hopefully other channels will watch it soon. The structure and delivery of the story is one of my favorite in the genre, I wish more sci-fi fans knew about this movie
Currently my favourite movie theme, the one were life as u know it being a lie.....
Art imitates life!
The soundtrack/ soundstage are stars in this movie.
Quantum Leap from -89 is very underrated scifi series. You would love it, it's about time travel which is one of your favorite themes if i recall.
Such a fun series to watch and an interesting concept.
That was a great reaction Jen! Your reaction reminds me of my reaction when I first saw this film. The effects, storyline and score was simply amazing! And I believe this is one of Tom Cruise's most underrated films. I enjoyed it from beginning to end, and I'm glad you did as well. I love watching your channel, Jen, and I am always looking forward to your next flick show! 🎥🍿❤️
I really didnt see the twist coming at all 😮 i still think we make an effective team though 🙂👌 this movie and your reaction is 🔥
We need more movies like this one. Why doesn't anyone make movies like this? They're so rad.
Hey Hey there Jen Murray. Hope this was a good week for you. I watched this twice in a row when I first purchased it on dvd. Absolutely love your reaction to it. ❤ Have a great weekend.
One of my very favorite films. When it was in the theater the sounds of those drones with the deep bass was absolutely amazing…reverberating through your bones. Super cool. Here is another underrated film, Outlander with Jim Caviezel…sci-fi film from 2008.
Tom Cruise made two great movies for perfect SF double-feature - „Oblivion” and „Edge of tomorrow”. Both of them were visionary at the time of their premieres and both aged really well. Good work Tom 👊🏻👍🏻
This is one of my top ten sci-fi films. Great storyline, very unique landscape/cinematography & special effects. Jen, you asked for more movies, here are four that I think are very interesting: “The 27th Day”, “THX 1138”, “Logan’s Run” & “Passenger”. Hope you add these to your list.
A much underrated movie with an exceptional score.
This movie is SO in my wheel house. Sci-fi, end of the world stuff with cool gadgets (the bubble ship). Great movie.
Minority Report, Oblivion, and Edge of Tomorrow are some of my favorite sci fi movies
🏆
That's the top of the Empire State Building, not the Chrysler Building. That's why the gift shop has King Kong toys.
Top 20 films for me of the last 25 years. Ultra underrated. Director also did Tron legacy and M83 did an amazing score. The final song on the movie was awesome too.
A hidden gem, trully underrated.
I’m not even American and I keep thinking, surprised she said the Chrysler Building but she’ll correct herself, hmm so, you didn’t realise that “monkey” was King Kong!
Ahh, she finally got it!
Anyway - I think this film is quite underrated! Especially given the really good soundtrack thanks to M83. And I thought the appropriate inclusion of one of the more famous passages from the classics was actually genius.
The end credit track is in my favorites playlist!
Oh and just for everyone who doesn’t understand basic geometry. “Tet” was short for Tetrahedron (the 4 sided Platonic solid) perhaps the most basic 3D symmetric shape in existence found in pretty much every crystal structure in one way or another but that’s actually an extremely complex topic. The point being it wasn’t just a random nickname!
Honestly one his best films and highly underrated. The soundtrack is excellent to pass time working.
This is one of my favourite films of all time! I love everything about it the story, the cinematography, the performances and the music is amazing. The movie is so underrated. Also the director made Tron: Legacy and Top Gun: Maverick. Im glad you enjoyed it.
Great movie that doesn't get talked about much.
A good 70s movie... Charles Heston:: Omega man.
UNOFFICIAL WISDOM NUGGET: At 05:30, "Ya can't see a hole in a movie and not go in it."
Started writing this one myself but cuz it said in a movie I couldn't as accept it lol it is a good nugget though 👍🔥👌
@@Ian-xx1xb Yes, the "in a movie" gave me second thoughts as well.
@@kevinlewallen4778 indeed but it's so good I was happy to see you put it in a comment regardless 👍👌
I Am A Sci-fi Junky and my wish is to watch a Movie with you one day. I Love You Jen 💘 Your Reactions are my Absolute Favorite to Watch. 🌹 😎🥺👏
I saw this film at the cinema when it first debutted-WOW-what a movie-going experience. The CGI,cinematography,atmosphere and special effects were the BEST I'd ever seen in a sci-fi film at that time. The story was okay.
Another great sci-fi movie for Tom Cruise. Tom is a phenomenal actor across all genres. Thanks for reacting to this. It was like seeing it again for the first time.
Forgot all about this movie. It’s pretty wild and I agree, this needs to be a video game. It’d be so cool flying around, landing and scouting out places on a post-apocalyptic Earth like this. It kind of reminds me of Death Stranding with the landscapes
Oblivion is one of my comfort movies, easy to have on while I work or when I just want to chill out with a movie. One interesting bit, I'm from Maui and they filmed a lot (all?) of the shots around the Sky Tower at the summit of our mountain, Haleakala. So for a lot of the shots where you see a beautiful sunrise or skyline around that tower, that's an actual place you can go visit :)
Good Afternoon, Jen💝and I cannot "Thank You" enough for finally watching this one! I can't believe or understand how this Movie has become so "over looked" lately, because it's absolutely Awesome! Easily one of Tom Cruise's Best; an Epic Post-Acocalyptic Thriller with Mind-Blowing Surprises and one of the most Mesmerizing Scores that I have ever heard!👍
FUN-FACT: this was Directed by Joseph Kosinski, who later worked with Cruise again to make "Top Gun: Maverick!"✌
Didn't know that you liked this one so much Tom? One of my favorite Cruise films also!
@@e.d.2096 😉👍
THe quote of Horatius at the bridge gives me utter chills. "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 And the temples of his Gods..." Reminds me very much of The Last Samurai "Katsumoto : What happened to the warriors at Thermopylae? Algren : Dead to the last man...
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends ".
This and 'Day after tomorrow' are not only some of the best Science Fiction in the last few decades, not to mention Tom Cruise at his peak; good stuff!
Thanks jen
The Anthony Gonzalez score is so damn good.
Absolutely agree. He had two amazing Sci-Fi movies in a row. This one and edge of Tomorrow, I'm not a big fan of Tom Cruise as a person but hell he makes some great movies.
What do you think of his Mission Impossible films ????
An audio and visual masterpiece! I loved this movie so much when it was released that I saw it 8 times in the theater… stunning! One of my all-time sci-fi movie favorites 🖤
You'd love Space Cowboys - a bunch of 70s actors do a rag-tag Argageddon save-the-earth thing. Awesome.
oh that IS the CN tower! Good catch!
I've actually went up the CN tower, about the time Jen would have been just a tiny Canadian.
Great film. It all works out in the end. But you have to feel for Vicka (Victoria). She loved him when he was married, then got him when they were a team, only to lose him again. All she wanted was to live with him in her own paradise.
I love your take on this
It’s good to delve more in to her life and experience as it’s obviously focussed on toms character
Joseph Kosinski directed this movie, he would later go on to make _Top Gun: Maverick_
Another film he did you need to check out is his directorial debut, _Tron Legacy._ Sequel to the 1982-Classic _Tron,_ I also recommend.
There it is in the thumbnail, that charming Murray Maneuver I like! See ya in the chat, Jen.
Thank you for reacting to this movie, Jen! There aren’t many reactions to this underrated masterpiece on YT. It’s truly stunning and the music is INCREDIBLE 🖤
One of my favorite movies. Knife fight in a phone booth is the name of the track for the drone attack near the end of the movie. Just one of the many cool things about this movie.
It's funny you asked "why isn't this a video game", because back in 2013 people seemed to want to trash this movie for some reason, and one of the things I remember hearing as a negative, was that it felt more like a video game than a film... Movie critics can be so lame sometimes, and the way this movie was disregarded and bashed when it came out, made me very sad and confused.
Great reaction Jen! 😊 my Sci Fi suggestions are THX 1138 or of course 2001:A Space Odyssey. Both very stylish, one by Kubrick one by Lucas. Thanks again Jen! See you Sunday 😊
