The plot is a bit of a hodge-podge of numerous science fiction films from the past (director Joseph Kosinski, here redeeming himself from Tron: Legacy, seems to prefer the term "homage"), but stands well on its own and keeps enough intelligent plot twists coming to maintain an effective and involving narrative throughout the two hour plus running time.
The jaw-dropping world design is ably assisted by a synth-heavy soundtrack credited to M83, as well as lush and immersive sound design. Sound is almost a character unto itself in a science fiction movie, and to Kosinki's credit, he pulls it off with aplomb.
Here's a short video covering the sound and music design of Oblivion, featuring Kosinski and several of his collaborators:
