Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack’s mission is nearly complete. His existence is brought crashing down when he rescues a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. Her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces him to question everything he knows and puts the fate of humanity in his hands.

The film recovers from its middle act lull with the clone encounter revelation, jumping from 6.8 to 8.7 as the story's true scope becomes clear.
Oblivion maintains strong audience sentiment throughout most of its runtime, with particular praise for its stunning visuals and opening mystery. The film experiences a slight dip during its middle exposition-heavy section but recovers powerfully with major revelations about clones and the Tet's true nature. The ending sequence featuring Jack's sacrifice is universally praised as emotionally perfect.
