Here's a question for you: have you ever seen or heard about the movie Moon? You probably haven't seen it. Have you seen or heard about Oblivion? You probably have heard about it. What we get is an attempt to bring the story of a small budget film to the big screen. The attempt wasn't necessarily a success or a failure, rather just an interesting development at filmmaking and adaptation.
The story is set in 2077 and follows Jack Harper, a veteran who is assigned to a station in the clouds with his partner Vika. Harper's job is to repair drones down on Earth to destroy scavengers that hunt for resources. Jack performs this tireless job without question till one day, he finds a pod with people in it. This forces him to question his surroundings and look for answers. As it turns out, he is not alone. The rest of the film is an interesting quest of self discovery that has several major twists that you will just have to see for yourself.
The story itself is fine, but it doesn't seem original when set side by side with Moon. I did enjoy watching this film in theaters, as it had good visuals in establishing a ruined Earth. I don't think this film reached it's potential, but it pleasantly surprised in other aspects and categories. Conclusion: Worth A Watch
Rating: 7/10
