A Very Close Look At The Oblivion Trailer – Clues, References And Nods

[Benson13]

I saw this and got excited for an Elder Scrolls movie, but I guess some Little Tom and alien genocide will work.

[BeyondTheGrave]

Reminds me of Enemy Mine.

[renegadeleader1]

Yup you beat beat me to it. Definately Enemy Mine.

[Old_Nash]

A Avatar without Navi...

[UN Spacy]

IFL.

[taksraven]

Avatar??? Enemy Mine??? Are you kidding me?? Its this....

.....combined with this......

[EXO]

It's totally Wall-E the reboot. Didn't expect that. I did a lot of pre production on this and fell in love with the designs. I thought it was going to be a space adventure... Maybe when Eve shows up and takes the plant from him. Come to think of it, Olga in the cryotube looks like Eve.

I thought Elder scrolls too. Immediately went through all the emotions. I was excited, then sad that it would prob be awful. Then hopeful that its too soon to tell. then watched the trailer....

[jenius]

I'll netflix this.

[Old_Nash]

I like to see a movie of Planeteers or Space Brother -.-

But not, they want ro recicle (and worsting...) old-recent ideas...

Did you happen to work on the Tron Legacy pre-production too since it's the same director?

[EXO]

nope... most of that was made digitally.

[PetarB]

I love the design aesthetic. Morgan Freeman really reminds me of Morpheus here, from the design beats to the dialog. Perhaps this is what they are going for. Either way, I can't wait, looks awesome!

[myk]

I like it so far...

[electric indigo]

Love the visual aesthetics. The general approach (visuals & setting) reminds me of some european comic stories from the days of the old Heavy Metal magazines. "Gangrène/Garbage" from Juan Giménez and Carlos Trillo comes to mind.

If it turns out to be a "wealthy elite exploiting the rest of the planet" plot, it will be interesting to see it next to Blomkamp's upcoming "Elysium".

[Ignacio Ocamica]

I like it, looking forward to this movie.

[JetJockey]

nope... most of that was made digitally.

Ok. There are a few people on The RPF looking for a Quorra poster image that was released at a low resolution. No one seems to be able to locate a high resolution image or poster for it.

[Old_Nash]

Will Smith are making a sci-fi suvivor movie with his son, named After Earth, with direction of M. Night Shyamalan

[PetarB]

Bah, that news does not belong even in the same thread!

I am very excited for this, after seeing it again in very high resolution.

[TehPW]

it makes me question who exactly is considered the aliens... OMG Wall-E/Battle Angel Alita team-up, coming soon from Marvel Comics, LOL

[peter]

Looks good to me. Looks very iPodish.

[Lobizon]

[electric indigo]

I love the production design.

Some hints make me wonder if the plot turns out like Pandorum, where there's a nasty surprise for the space traveling survivors.

Some caps from the trailer - note the repeated presence of drone 166 in the clip; it also has a wicked "nose art".

[Garbon]

Looks like those drones where made by Aperture Science.

Why do I get the idea that there where no aliens and it was man who messed up the planet?

No it was made in the SF valley. I should know I worked on it.

Kind of reminds me of Ashley wood.

[Chowser]

Wow, no new responses?

My gf and I watched this last night. I'm normally not a fan of Tom Cruise, but we both really liked Oblivion!

No spoilers, but we were impressed.

[eugimon]

just got back from seeing it. I really enjoyed it.

[anime52k8]

Just saw it, very cool movie. Loved the look of the film, too.

I really want 3A to make a 1/6 version of Drone 166.

[KH355hamdi]

Me as well. Will buy it when out on iTunes.

[Dynaman]

Going to see it tomorrow.

[Flaming Guantlet]

I got to see this at IMax for the midnights. Very enjoyable film with great aesthetics, and the plot actually had me guessing at times too. Looks like a good start for sci-fi movies this year.

*Edit: Yup ascetics are VERY strict.=P

[David Hingtgen]

Ascetics? They're usually pretty strict.

[PetarB]

I saw it last week: highly recommended. Some twists you will certainly see coming, others less-so.

Having said all this, the film looks absolutely gorgeous. And Andrea Riseborough is the real star. There is one scene in particular with her that is a real treat (hint: it involves a swimming pool) but her acting is absolutely fantastic.

Visually, the film is a feast. Films these days are designed by committee and design tends to get watered down - this one shows the power of a single vision. In terms of the visuals, at any rate.

I will not comment on the story, other than to say that I enjoyed it, but scifi fans will quickly twig onto what's going on here.

Watch and enjoy.
