I definitely wouldn't recommend the movie for either agoraphobes or claustrophobes. It manages to capture both the feeling of confinement and the big empty all to well.

I think I could call OBLIVION awesome--at least visually. I was reminded of a line I just re-read by Loren Eisley: "I am a student of desolation."

I up up with "awesome because I know it will eventually fade away, like the use of the word "like" as unnecessary punctuation. Language changes. I remember reading a story by Rudyard Kipling that I just couldn't finish. He was using so many turn of the century colloquialisms that I had no idea what he was saying. (It was supposed to be a humourous story so that may have been his point, a hundred years later I was just lost).
