What makes Oblivion the best movie of the year so far is the balance between narrative and world building. It is science fiction, so maybe I am biased towards it, but many movies lose themselves in just one or the other. Or if they somehow manage to balance it, they fail to make you think. Oblivion has achieved that delicate balance. Good story, well done special effects which support the narrative, and some thought provoking material. 2013 is going to see the release of a number of promising sci-fi movies (Into Darkness, After Earth, Now you see me and of course this one) which had made it exciting at the end of 2012. Oblivion is the first one delivered, and is indeed a Shubh Arambh.
