If you don’t know anything about Oblivion – have managed to avoid the more revealing trailers and promotional material – then I strongly recommend you book yourself some tickets and go see it on the biggest screen you can find.

Gun character and charisma that has made that original one of the most beloved films of its, or any, time.Where Scott found trouble managing things like the sun-kissed opening sequences, having to pay off the aircraft carrier's captain to turn the ship, Kozinski's DOP would find this process much smoother, with a captain prepared to go that extra mile to get the right lighting, just because the original movie highlighted what everybody was aiming for.
