Attack Drones : Oblivion

Holy shit... 3M+ views... didn't see that coming...

This is how AI attacking humans should be. Not like terminator where they walk slow, miss 70% of their shots and throw people instead of simply crushing them with their vice grip like hands

These drones are some of the best machines in all sci-fi. The movement, sound, design, attitude, detailing, originality. It's 100% fucking awesome.

The drone design is ingenious in that they look borderline acceptable as friendlies at first, but with a vicious undertone that turns positively demonic when their true purpose is illustrated in the sky house scene.

Oblivion was a masterpeice...few actors, great cgi and the soundtrack amazing...not to mention an original storyline

There is so little emotion or hesitation in the drones actions and this makes them terrifying

The fact 3 drones managed to take out pretty much an entire settlement is terrifying.

Man. At first glance, this thing is just some generic, lazily designed sci-fi robot- until you see it MOVE. This floating death orb is a strong example of how visuals are never the first priority. Movement is the essence of film. It’s the first lesson you are taught if you take any kind of class, yet so many directors to this day completely disregard it. Productions worth millions end up forgettable because they expect amazing spectacles are all a movie needs, and CGI has made this much more common. But then theres this thing. This Drone is a testament to the capability of cinema- even a cold and featureless sphere can function as a highly memorable character when it's put into motion.

oblivion had some of the best aerial vehicle designs in movie history!

This new Apple stuff looks amazing.

“You know what I love about machines? They do what they’re told. They follow their programming. They don’t need time off to get drunk and put the boat in the water. And you, do what you’re told. Stand over there on the edge of your personal abyss, and watch my machines do your job.” -Dr. Robotnik

One small detail I always loved about this movie is the human made turrets using drone shells. Realistically speaking, if the drone's carapace is one of the hardest materials in the wastes, why not use destroyed ones as armor as well? Really obvious if you were to live in that world but considering this is a movie its a small detail that really sells the realism they were aiming for imho.

Realistically, the drones making all those noises communicating obviously what they're doing/thinking is silly. But for the cinematic experience, its scary hearing when they're checking you out and especially when they play their "kill mode activated" noise.

The sound design is on point.

I don't care what anyone else says, this movie was a masterpiece.

It's Crazy how you can tell that in spite of their programming, how badly those drones want to kill Jack.

I really like how they made the drone realistic. The way the drone gets confused and collides with the wall at 3:14 tells that they're not "too perfect". The details they put into those drones' behavior is so amazing.

The drones in this movie are vicious!

One of the most underrated sci-fi movies ever

These drones are so scary... what a well done job with them. Really, those sounds, the way they scan the environment and attack... cool and a prediction of an obscure future might be...
