Oblivion (2013) - Review



At the time, "Tron: Legacy" has clearly demonstrated the ability of Joseph Kosinski in creating a truly beautiful film with an unusual style. Although, of course, behind the director then was a "Disney" with a team of writers, producers, and other qualified personnel, the availability of which is usually a guarantee of quality. With "Oblivion" get harder - movie based on a comic book of his own Kosinski, and the project at one time he himself had "Disney" and refused. We know that sometimes comes at too fond of visionaries who are burdened by excessive independence - witness snayderovsky "Sucker Punch" (two hours of beauty, and a welter of meaninglessness).

However, Snyder rightly accused of some immaturity, which is not exactly said about Kosinski. It took until just two feature films, but clearly visible in both his particular directorial style and stylistic consistency. One may criticize the second "Tron" for the innocence and the predominance of form over the plot, but within our own concept of the painting was executed perfectly - the viewer by the scruff virtually immersed in virtual reality and action appropriate to compare only to that of "Avatar" but with some worthy of "Transformers."

So with "Oblivion" as well - the director does not swing, he carefully and patiently and with a sense of proportion tells us his story. And the most amazing (and in addition also nice), we were granted a film that category of fantastic pictures that are not so much about the visuals, how about the plot and characters. In some places there noticed the "tails" of "The Matrix," "Wall-E", "Space Odyssey 2001", "2112 Moon" and other well-known things, a scenario which is considered to be outstanding. But to accuse Kosinski of plagiarism necessary: ​​first, almost all kinoidei in any case are borrowed from literary and religious folklore regions, and secondly, to mix in the right proportion popular concept - is also a skill.

"Oblivion" if it consists of several layers, which gradually opened during playback. It begins with the beautiful scenery and postapokalipsicheskih a brief story about the consequences of the disaster occurred; pastiche of some parts of the world, and is reminiscent of Halo games and Destiny, which is actually pretty cool - just like in the movies (colors and design elements of art) is quite original decision. Voiceover main character succinctly puts into the swing of things, and the audience is invited to consider carefully the desolate and beautiful landscapes that produce at first almost a calming experience.

Because of the slowness of the narrative and can determine its attitude toward Jack with Vika, and think about holes in the setting (dick find), and enjoy the features of shape and the interiors of local structures (Kosinski architect by training, so these parts especially attentive). And as designers tried over the spherical drones (thank God, not in a vacuum)! Such aggressive and frightening robots we seem to have not seen since the first "Robocop".





Although once it is clear that the world order around the characters - no more than an illusion, a solid understanding of the very essence of deception from the hip will not work. With the advent of the character Kurylenko narrative smoothly enters the layer associated with the main intrigue of which, of course, everything turns upside down. They come one after another spectacular action scenes (mainly related to the impulsive drones) and new details are destroying logical seemingly picture of the world order on the screen.

Finally, powerful and, perhaps, the only correct final puts the bullet, indicating the film as an organic and complete picture. Of course, if you want you can ask unnecessary questions to a number of aspects of the fictional world - but the fact is that things are not at all unlit affect the logic of the plot, and the absence of a number of responses even goes somewhere good. Roughly speaking, all the coolness of abstract and almost overwhelming enemy force is in its mystery and invincibility (in the imagination of the audience, of course), and it emphasizes the importance of greater deeds of human characters.

Cinema works fine on all levels, conventionally described above. Here, as in "Wall-E", interesting to examine the consequences of a dystopian future, as in the "Tron 2", it's hard to keep my mouth shut during the fighting, and even the characters have time to become apparent and start to cause such a rare sense of empathy. And most importantly - in the process of really interesting to know the whole background of what is happening and that the very real fate of mankind.

It will be very sad if "Oblivion" will not develop a relationship with fortune box office. This year's scheduled several important fantastic prime minister and, in fact, for a long time is determined by rolling the fate of the genre. We are, to put it mildly, does not like to be bored again at a reasonable and intelligent SF, focused not only on teenagers and infantile morons.

And then, if someone does not give Joseph Kosinski opportunity to continue to shoot in his usual manner - well, these people have to wait for a special hell, which will be responsible for the torture of a triumvirate consisting govnodelov Olivier Megaton, Uwe Boll and, of course, Sarika.



5/5
