Elysium 2013 vs Oblivion 2013
Hello,
Today/This night I felt like watching some nice sci-fi movies. I havent watched hollywood movies in a while so it was about time ! And I knew there were some interesting movies out there that I might like. I had heard about oblivion a while ago and I also saw advertisements for elysium. These are two different movies. I saw both tonight. First elysium and then oblivion. I had a feeling I would like oblivion... but somebody on the piratebay wrote that it's plot was predictable... so I wasn't sure if it was a good movie. So I watch elysium first since it had jodie foster and it might be a better movie since people seemed to like that and it was higher on the list... but that could be because it's newer. Anyway... I won't keep you in suspense any longer. The movie I liked best was DEFINETLY: OBLIVION !!!!!!!!! Hands down. It's graphics were way more cool, way more space, way more sci-fi than elysium. Somebody wrote it was a moon clone... so that kind spoiled it a bit but not really... I had seen moon too... so it was kinda nice what to expect from oblivion. I did not find the story predictable at all... oblivion had me sitting on the edge of my seat, as Tom was exploring the caves. Oblivion was a very exciting movie especially for computers nerds like me The graphics/space ship designs even reminded me of Turrican... which is a very good c64 game. Anyway elysium wasn't bad either... it was a more messy/dirty future film... and it was more action prone. This movie reminded me a bit of halo... and my own plot that moon people would look down on earth people lol... a scary thought... elysium scared my pants pretty much from the start of the movie... it was a somewhat realistic feel to it. At least the scanner part that healed people... pretty amazing ! =D Somewhat emotional ending too... but then... does it make sense to rescque DNA-defected people ? oops little spoiler there lol... food for though Both movies definetly deserve a watch. I'd give elysium a 9.9 and oblivion a 9.9. Both are equally well done... elysium gets 0.1 points deduction for somewhat predictable plot to take over the space station. And oblivion gets a 0.1 deduction for being a moon clone But both movies pretty much nailed it. Oblivion is definetly my favorite... I didn't really feel like Tom played it's part that well... I kinda believed he was simply Tom Cruise in a movie and not a character of a movie... but I didn't mind... I think this movie was shot... during his break up with his love... his girlfriend katie or something... the other girly in the movie even looked a bit like it So say it has scientology or religion influences in it... I say hogwosh to that... I did love the romian part of it at the end pretty cool... yes it was a little bit like it was religion but so what... Ultimately it turns out not to be a bible but a warbook or something Maybe they should have used "The Art of War" by Tsu Sun instead of that red book lol Anyway... Maybe Tom had a though time... getting into his role... maybe his head was with katie... I do forgive him... ofcourse... it was a good movie... he looked a bit sad during the movie... so it shine through a little bit. There also was a bit of lllllovvve in the movie which was pretty cool ! =D So hands down oblivion ones for being a somewhat more romantic movie ! =DDDDD I absolutely loved the cave part with the orange eyes... for exciting part. And I also absolutely loved the end part... flash backs... and then entering the mother ship to finally unravel... the mystery. I was worried a bit... near the end was thinking... GJEZ... I've been watching this movie for so long now... and I still haven't seen any aliens I guess the movie is kinda building up to the end PART LOL Wiwiwiwiwiwiwhihihi. And then you'll be happy you ll finally get to see it ! =D The end part was pretty cool... felt a bit tron like... but that's all I am saying for now =D You ll have to see it. Oh that reminds me... somebody on piratebay wrote it reminded him of portal 2... hmm yes... now that I have seen the movie... it does have some resemblence... but I certainly don't mind... balls... eyes... etc that's what he was on about ! =D I for one... I am glad I saw these two movies... especially oblivion... I haven't seen such a good sci-fi movie in a while... I was just very happy during the movie watching all the nice special effects and spaceship fly... I just couldn't believe how good it was ! There were some parts which did show it was clearly cgi... but that's ok.. It was kinda fun to see the entire world being destroyed and such... not totally... just broken stuff... stranded ships... statues etc... the usually I guess... but still kinda funny/nice. The movie had lot's of suspencion... during the entire movie I was thinking to myself: "WTF is going on ?!" =D And that's exactly how a movie should be. I do have some gripes with it though... the dialog/monoloog was hard to understand/hear/listening too... it's a bit mombly.... Somehow the voices are a bit muffed... not sure why that is... could just be the copy or maybe it's just the movie... to bad but I enjoyed it anyway. I just turned the volume up during dialogs and later turned it down a bit. OH YEAH THAT REMINDS ME... oblivion has a pretty cool soundtrack ! =D I'll try and download it now... So again oblivion is my favorite... way better soundtrack then elysium I think I can't even remember elysium soundtreack though now its coming back a bit... it had some short action music if I remember correctly or perhaps that was even oblivion oh well now I am confused a little bit lol. The ending of oblivion was also somewhat suprising so well done to that I say... very cool/feel good movie I guess ! =D Also a bit sad ofcourse that tom dies... but his clone comes back.. lol major spoiler there lol... is that a brain **** too ? lol... not really but it has one thinking... Would you accept a clone of your lover if your real lover died ? =D - Food for though ! LOL =D Woeyeah ! =D Wieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, now I try and go and download the soundtrack.. But first I am gonna watch the end one more time lol ! =D Coool... Bye, Bye, Skybuck =D |
