Could OBLIVION (2013) Be The Most UNDERRATED Movie Ever? |Movie Reaction| |First Time Watching|

[@TheOctobersReact]

Is this really the most UNDERRATED Tom Cruise movie? If not, we'd love to see which one is! Also, what do you think of AI today? Does it freak you out? Are we under attack? This movie explored that in a few ways! PS Sorry our pug Nala was caught snoring in this, we have been trying to be more mindful when we hear her snore lol. Enjoy the reaction and we will be back Monday @ 12! THANKS ETHAN FOR THE SUGGESTION!

[@kelleymorris6541]

😂aww poor Nala💖

[@ldkinbote]

I would say, yes. It is one of the most underrated Tom Cruise movies. I really enjoyed it when I watched it and had a tough time convincing people I knew to watch it. Granted, those people did have issues with Tom Cruise already. The wouldn't watch "Edge of Tomorrow" either.

[@ldkinbote]

@ShahYT.Official Could be, since I've never seen it.

[@thegwolf]

You really need to don't give a damn about what rotten tomatoes scores say about any given movie. They are known for manipulating scores. It was already suspected before but it became certain when they live-tweaked numbers at the release of Captain Marvel, because the audience didn't had a uniform praise for the flick.

[@ImperialMJG]

No....Vanilla Sky. But thats a movie for a people with a brain that really functions. To tough to handle for most people.

[@golfr-kg9ss]

This is one of my favorite Tom Cruise movies. This one has a couple of great twists in and solid story. Not just a a bunch of action scenes.

[@TheOctobersReact]

yeah we agree it was underrated

[@jh5131]

Soundtrack was really good too

[@barreloffun10]

​@@jh5131The visuals were awesome in the theater.

[@yomamasquad]

agree, both the action and storyline is what sold this movie for me

[@exituscaeli959]

Tom Cruise’s association with Scientology was a a negative high with the press and social media around the time Oblivion came out. This really chilled people from going to it. I know tons of people who love and discus this film to this day. Edge of Tomorrow was hurt a bit less for the same reason (plus bad marketing). Two excellent SciFi films. Thanks for reacting.

[@dimitarmargaritov]

I dont think it was scientology, Ghost Protocol came out like couple of years before that and like gave a new life to the series because it was so successful. I think it was just bad marketing, but Edge of Tomorrow did better, I think. Either way, both of these film are in my top 10 ever anyway.

[@ImperialMJG]

It wasnt Scientology. It was bad marketing and in the midst of when Superheroes was what everybody wanted to see (except me). Only period Scientology effected his movies was 2006 and 2007. It was pretty much over by 2008 as Valkyrie did pretty decent. But from 2010 and onwards that was forgotten. Only people complaining about Cruise and Scientology is those that have a grudge against him and Scientology. They are 0,0000001% but they make alot of noise. But if you look at comments about TC today on youtube videos out of 1000 comments maybe 10 mentions Scientology. Being the last real movie star which we will never see the likes of again makes some people of course find something to shit talk him cause thats what they do to people that are more successful then them.

[@BadassRaiden]

This has a poor rating because most of the people who use movie rating sites like metacritic and rotten tomatoes have bad taste in movies. This movie was incredible. I loved seeing it when it first came out. Also, there is no real Jack anymore. The real one is dead. All the Jacks on the surface of the planet, as well as the ones that were in the Tet, as well as the Vickas, are all clones.

[@LukeLovesRose]

I have always loved this movie. I never understood why it wasnt a bigger success

[@TheOctobersReact]

agreed ! when you find out the answer let us know bc we are wondering the same !

[@elroysez8333]

Yeah... I don't get why this flick gets such poor ratings. I have always loved it.

[@jpbliss1]

Love this movie. Gotta say, the drone tech is incredible. And the soundtrack. It all just works...

[@TheOctobersReact]

it didn’t get the credit it deserves

[@AJR-gg]

Nala snoring is hilarious, I kept checking I had other tabs open or thought I was hearing things

[@TheOctobersReact]

omg she used to constantly be in the mic sleeping away!

[@Lacastrian]

The Jack that appeared at the end of the movie was the other clone, he didn't come back and had a happy ending.

[@TheOctobersReact]

whatttt so that’s even more confusing !

[@afoolandhiscameras7658]

All the Jacks were clones of the original Jack. The original Jack was long gone. Same with Vicka. Morgan Freeman character took an interest in the one Jack clone because he saw a lot more humanity and curiosity in him as opposed to the countless other clones he had no doubt observed over more than 50 years and saw a chance. I suggest you give it another watch sometime. I think it will make more sense the second time around. They throw a lot at you in this movie and if you start thinking a certain way, you’ll miss the clues and little facts they drop to help you understand. It’s one of my favorite science fiction movies of all time.

[@JohnComeOnMan]

THAT DOG SNORING!!! 😂

[@TheRimBrakeGuy]

Loved it, that dog is living the dream! :D

[@TheDarkstorm77]

This movie was great... People who don't like this movie are dumb and don't like movies where they have to think a little bit.

[@strategicthinker8899]

Which is 95% of people.

[@exituscaeli959]

One of the interesting questions about this film is asking if Victoria always knew what was going on but was so obsessed with Jack she was willing to live a lie and even die over and over in order to have him. Basically, she could be “Cypher” in Oblivion valuing living in a “clone matrix” with the man she otherwise would never have more than resisting alien slavery.

[@dimitarmargaritov]

Never thought about that, but she was completely dedicated to her fantasy life anyway, so it doesnt matter.

[@Alvan81]

I don't think she was aware either.. But Since she had no love interest maybe her flashbacks weren't clear, memorable or desirable? Or maybe they were disturbing remember she (rightfully) panicked a little when they were captured. Remember Jack 49 is patrolling his actual home and stomping grounds every single day😢. That's why he kept getting memory triggers. Also, I don't think we should assume their cloning process is the same as ours. Maybe they can clone a Brain and recreate the chemical pattern? So imperfect memory results?

[@Account-number-3587]

to me, there is no ‘real’ jack. what’s left is just clones of him that became so perfect after the tet done that multiple times, the clones began to be aware of its past memories. after the 49 jack dies whats left is just 52 jack which eventually gain it’s own revelation and begin to seek julia, now already unbound from the tet and joined with the scav

[@stemakwest7165]

For me it's by far the most underrated movie ever made.

[@TheOctobersReact]

we agree it’s pretty good

[@Blaiyan]

I bought the blu-ray when it first came out. I thought it was good.

[@joerenaud8292]

I think Oblivion was far better than Edge of Tomorrow.

[@calvinlc]

I like them both for different reasons,

[@anthonywilson7681]

I saw this one and Edge of Tomorrow, back to back almost. Thoroughly enjoyed both and both freaked me out equally.

[@hussmoosbally8929]

Not underated, but Born on 4th July is almost never reacted to. Probably because of the serious subject matter and not painting the US government in the best light. It is arguably Cruise's best performance too.

[@danielberg7644]

Reminds me of old school sci-fi.

[@RocZi]

This is one of my top sci-fi movies. It is crazy to get 54% out of 100%, are you kidding me? I can't even find another movie like Oblivion because the director made so few movies. That is why i prefer IMDB ratings over rotten tomatometer. half a million people rated this movie in IMDB, so that tells you just how many millions of people watched it. most people do not rate movies. Anything in IMDB that can hit 7.0 / 10 is very good (with a sufficient number of voters of course). And this is what Oblivion is in IMDB. i personally will give the movie a much higher because of the great story, concept, twist, how cool the tech is, how cool they sound, and how clean the visuals look together with CGI. like i said, i can't find another movie that has this type of dystopian setting and great visuals. I finally understood that they used front-projection instead of green screen, so that's why it looks so clean, good and blends with the actors. And the lighting is based on real footage which can cast shadows to bring out the effects and immerse the audience. This movie is done very well. I wish it was longer.

[@scottythedawg]

yes this movie is under rated. it is at least a 7. I mean the twists were fairly obvious but the execution, design and sound elevate it.

[@SrCadet1234]

It's definitely up there with Sunshine in terms of most underrated space movies

[@olatron]

If you have a nice sound system those drone scenes really shake the house!!

[@realisticthought1781]

Edge of tomorrow is a must now

[@kelleymorris6541]

Yes I love the ending 💯 thanks y'all it was quite strange but fun❤

[@mikearroyo3961]

This movie was low-rated? I always thought of it as one of the best movies around.

[@TheOctobersReact]

RT gave them a 54%! We thought it had a pretty cool story to tell as well!

[@rdyer8764]

My favorite TC movie. One of my faves of all time.

[@isobar5857]

A truly brilliant well thought out movie...one of Tom cruise's best.

[@DaveTingwaldd]

Me and Joseph Kosinksi are from the same town in Iowa. He also did an amazing job on Top Gun: Maverick. I always considered this movie a "guilty pleasure" for myself because it got such overall mediocre ratings. So, I'm always like hesitant to tell anyone I liked the movie.

[@seecha8970]

That's Jamie Fookin Lannister! This reference will only make sense now.

[@michaelshelton8802]

The point of this movie is not that they found the real Jack Harper. It's that the real you are your memories and what they made you to be. As tech 49 learned about what happened and remembered his past. He became the real Jack Harper. Just like there were hints of it in tech 52. And when tech 52 saw Julia, it awoke the real Jack in tech 52. Tech 49 new that 52 would be there after for Julia. So he chose to destroy the Tet, which was not just AI, but an alien AI that grew beyond its original creator's control, and had been going from planet to planet, sucking up their water for fuel in order to stay alive.

[@DocMicrowave]

This is a great movie. Love the concept. The only thing that ever bothered me is the end. Technically there are at least 52 other Jack's out there who have the same memories that will be triggered upon seeing Julia. Likewise, there are least as many Jealous Vikka's out there. That could be very problematic for Julia and her daughter if/when they find her.

[@alicequinn505]

I don't think that would be a problem. Vika's not vindictive, she's just in love, and Julia already has her Jack 52. With the scavs revealed to be people, it changes things too.

[@DocMicrowave]

@@alicequinn505 Maybe, but I still think it would be a problem for Julia with the, I'm going to go with thousands of, Jack's out there who still have deep unrealized feelings for Julia waiting to be activated. If Jack and Vikka 739 ever encountered Julia, there might be problems. maybe even leading to more Jack on Jack fights. As for Vika not being vindictive. She clearly wanted Julia out of the picture from the first time she saw her. And of course there was that scene where she ratted Jack out to the Tet on his return with Julia. Not even wanting to hear an explanation. Seemed just a little vindictive to me. (Watching them embrace remotely certainly didn't help her disposition.) She might had been in love, but she certainly seemed like she wanted to get back at Jack for hurting her. She always covered for him before Julia came into play.

[@alicequinn505]

@@DocMicrowave Vika just found out her Jack cheated on her, and reacted emotionally. I think just like with anyone it's possible for Jacks to get over Julia, even for some of them to stay with Vika, but if not... still not seeing the problem

[@DocMicrowave]

@@alicequinn505 Well, you kinda spelled out. Over time as more and more Jack's and Vicka's discover Julia's existemce, you'd end up with a bunch of smitten Jack's, as well as a bunch of hurt and jealous Vicka's. It's in their programing.. They would be hard pressed to try and ignore the feelings. Not saying the Vicka's would go on a murder spree. But they would be all pretty messed up mental as they realize their world has crumbled. A funny scenario would be a bunch of Jack's duking it out on Julia's doorstep. Similar to Jack fighting his clone in the movie.

[@mjenner1451]

I love this movie for the plot idea, the filmography, the special effects, and the score was also amazing. Ppl love to shit on Tom Cruise, but he really killed it in this movie.

Definitely underrated! I loved Oblivion!

[@scottallen6160]

You two are only the second on KZbin to react to this film.. and your editing is better. The Last Samurai is my favorite Cruise film, this is a close second. This film was made from a graphic novel by the director. Tom Cruise was on board early from seeing the novel. The dvd has a cool behind the scenes.

[@alanflor703]

I don't get why this movie isn't better received either. I think part of it might be the complexity. The average person likes simple, easy to follow actioners. I think I watched this about three times before I understood it all. Still a favorite, though.

[@TheOctobersReact]

it took us to do it, edit it and then have comments explain but it was still such an interesting concept lol

[@strategicthinker8899]

The average person is of so low intelligence they cannot follow a simple plot like this? No wonder Hollywood makes trash, the people deserve and demand trash.

[@SG-js2qn]

IMO, this one is better than some other Tom Cruise movies, and it's a solid scifi movie.

[@TheOctobersReact]

it was pretty solid

[@ImperialMJG]

I feel sorry for the guy. I hate to watch movies with people that dont understand whats going on in the movie even if its easily explained. Like you have to sit and explain it to her. And yes this is a very underrated movie. Its excellent.

[@olternaut]

I'm telling y'all...there's a conspiracy with rottentomatoes. Something is rotten with rottentomatoes. I just don't trust their reviews anymore. It's especially suspect when their critics reviews are low for a movie but the audience reviews is high.

[@DFProductionsNow]

It is one of my favorite sci-fi movies not to mention the soundtrack. Whoever is doing the rankings must not like Tom Cruise. I also believe this movie is way underrated. 😊

[@michaelshelton8802]

The most confusing thing about this movie is that while watching, you made a bunch of assumptions trying to figure out what the movie's about instead of just watching and taking in what it's about... By trying to predict what's going to happen. You miss what's happening

[@l00d3r]

They are reactors. They have to make it a transformative work in order to be covered by Fair Use. They need to speculate about the plot and offer their own ideas.

[@michaelshelton8802]

@l00d3r I get that, but there are ways to react while avoiding going down long what if's that take the reactor away from their viewing experience and in doing so catching more details that create opportunities for even deeper post film discussion. As someone who is subscribed to about 25 difference reaction channels? And have viewed far more. There are a lot of different ways to do reactions. The best ones either limit their engagement during the movie slightly so that they don't miss things and do a post discussion, or the ones who pause occasionally to have discussion based on key moments during the film. Pausing adds a little bit of extra work when it comes to the editing process. However, it allows you to milk every ounce of content out of each movie.

[@michaelshelton8802]

@l00d3r i just wanted to provide some constructive criticism to help the channel get better and grow. Wasn't trying to bash on them or anything.
