Oblivion (2013)

After an alien invasion a handful of humans are tasked with claiming the remaining resources of Earth for a move to Titan.  Easily the best Tom Cruise movie since Minority Report.  Production value and FX are both top shelf.  Story wise you will see elements of Moon, The Matrix, The Island and 2001, creating a clever but simple plot that serves the pacing well by creating tension and enough depth to move things forward without bogging things down with too much detail and complex character development.  Roles like these make you forget that Tom Cruise is crazy in real life.  Anyway, I was thoroughly entertained throughout and for sci-fi fans its hard to imagine missing with this pick.  Recommended.
