Oblivion

Tom Cruise

Not bad. Of course there was too much CGI and too many explosions but the computers also created some beautiful landscapes, buildings, etc. And there's a reason TC is at the top of the heap: he's very good at what he does...convincing even when the material is absurd.

Once the magic of the visuals had worn off an actual plot kicked in which wasn't an insult. It helped having Morgan Freeman as the leader of the freedom fighters...duh. The film was a compendium of action movie cliches but they've worked for others before and by god they worked again here.

Sort of. Fun, engaging entertainment.
