A film that doesn’t seem to be on everyone’s radar (but probably should be) is Joseph Kosinski’s (Tron: Legacy) science fiction film Oblivion, starring Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman. Up until this first trailer release for the film, hitting theaters next April, even this self-professed sci-fi fanatic had little interest (don’t ask me why). But sometimes all it takes is a great trailer to pique curiosity.

In the film, Cruise plays Jack Harper, one of the last few drone repairmen left on a future Earth after decades of war with a alien threat known as the Scavs. Nearly completing his mission, he rescues a woman from a crashed spacecraft – someone whose arrival triggers a series of events that wind up shaking the very foundation of everything Harper believes in, and forcing the fate of humanity into his hands.
