Oblivion

Oblivion (2013) is Joseph Kosinski's science-fiction action film you can watch online on iFILM. Earth lies wrecked after a war with aliens, most of humanity has moved to a colony near Saturn, and drone technician Jack Harper stays behind to keep the machines running over an empty planet. His tour is almost over — just a couple of weeks left.

Jack shares a glass house above the clouds with his partner Victoria, and he barely remembers his past; his memory was wiped before the mission. Still, he keeps dreaming of a woman he seems to have loved in an old, pre-war New York. When an escape pod crashes nearby and Jack pulls that same stranger, Julia, from the wreck, everything he was told starts to come apart. Tom Cruise leads, alongside Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Morgan Freeman as the leader of the surviving humans, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

Kosinski, fresh off Tron: Legacy, leans hard on pure visual texture: bare Icelandic landscapes, clean white interiors, a score by French band M83. It's slow, gorgeous sci-fi with a detective knot tied into its middle. Stream Oblivion (2013) online on iFILM.
