An exclusive IMAX poster for the upcoming Tom Cruise action film “Oblivion” has been released. The poster is, to me, quite staggering. Of course, some of my feelings could also come from the fact that I’m afraid of heights, but I find that the image of Cruise’s character Jack high above the clouds on some sort of futuristic landing pad to be quote evocative. We’ve got the poster for you below; see what you think about it and write your opinions in the comments section!
“Oblivion,” called “an original and groundbreaking cinematic event” from Joseph Kosinski, the man behind “TRON: Legacy” as well as the producers of “Rise of the Planet of the Apes.” Cruise’s character is a man who was put on Earth to gather as many Earthly resources as he can find, but his mission quickly changes when he comes across a mysterious survivor:
“2077: Jack Harper (Cruise) serves as a security repairmen stationed on an evacuated Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying alien threat who still scavenges what’s left of our planet, Jack’s mission is almost complete. In a matter of two weeks, he will join the remaining survivors on a lunar colony far from the war-torn world he has long called home.
Living in and patrolling the breathtaking skies from thousands of feet above, Jack’s soaring existence is brought crashing down after he rescues a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. Drawn to Jack through a connection that transcends logic, her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces him to question everything he thought he knew. With a reality that is shattered as he discovers shocking truths that connect him to Earth of the past, Jack will be pushed to a heroism he didn’t know he contained within. The fate of humanity now rests solely in the hands of a man who believed our world was soon to be lost forever.”
“Oblivion” was shot in digital 4K resolution on location across the United States and Iceland. The film will be in theaters nationwide April 19, with special IMAX previews beginning April 18 at 8 pm local time. You can learn more about the film at its official site.
