I was writing just the other day about Star Trek Into Darkness, the follow-up to the successful Star Trek reboot that comes out in May.
Now we get our first look at Oblivion, a film starring Tom Cruise coming from one of the producers of Rise of the Planet of the Apes and the director of Tron: Legacy.
The story focuses on Cruise' character, Jack Harper, who is a drone repairman stationed on a post-apocalyptic Earth. Aliens called Scavs attacked Earth sixty years prior, and most of the humans who survived the war were forced to evacuate. A few people, such as Harper, were left behind to maintain Earth's defenses and recover valuable resources. When a mysterious group of survivors appear, Harper begins to question his real purpose on Earth.
It sounds like a pretty good setup for a film, and it has a clean, slick look to boot.
Want to see more? How about a trailer?
Yeah. That looks real nice. This one is officially on my radar now. Look for it in theaters April 19.
