  • Oblivion 2013

    ★★½ Watched 30 Apr, 2013

    + Coolest looking sci fi film for a while

    ★★ Watched 20 Jul, 2012

    + Scenes with Batman and Catwoman together
    + The batwing and batcycle were cool thanks to the practical effects
    + Nice Cillian Murphy cameo
    + It was interesting to see the chant and the chalk Batman logo. Never scene a movie try and be viral before.
    - Focused on plot exposition so there is no reason to rewatch it for anything but the action which there is very little of. It's full of plot holes and the character motivations make…
