Honestly this video is great If technology got this advanced drones would actually be op as fuck Uncomparatively so to something like star wars, where the design is more tame
@@mikeuk666 I didn't know who it was at the time. But ya... the Sound design is definitely top 10. We've talked about it a lot in the comments. I've thought about doing a commentary channel... but I've been lazy to work on this channel so I don't know that I'll get around to it...
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
Btw did you notice that disposable characters are killed without hesitation at a fraction of a second but the drone that attacked Tom Cruise spent like 10 seconds just watching his eyes lmao. It's a good movie though
yes, instead of flying over an area at supersonic speeds bombing the shit out of everything or sending precision guided missiles, or roasting the entire area with lasor or plasma weaponry, or dropping a bunch of disposable drones that fire like a group of floating infantry units, or dropping a giant turret on the ground that sets up instantly and coats the local area in shrapnel or whatever weapons it has, or drops kinetic missiles from orbit, or goes invisible and silently shoots people in the heart, spine connection or brain, instead of hacking local defense network, instead of doing any of that... It'll go into an almost melee range, float there menacingly, and then get shot and die instantly... Posing for the audience that does not exist in real life.
As a machine but not necessarily a drone the robot cop in Robocop was pretty fierce. In fact some of these drones effects and motives are similar to that evil corporation robot cop in that movie.
Part of the reason they work so well is the industrial design. You can clearly see that these were built to be mass produced, high in firepower for soft targets and to be flexible for different environments. A good compromise between cost and function, which is exactly how a machine would design them.
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.
It reminds me of those turrets in Portal, which looks adorable and non harmful, but the moment their sides pops up with guns it just looks scarier, although their voices do make them less scary
@@darthkek1953 Um... the british bunker busters from ww2 wouldve accomplished the same thing. Modern technology isnt as different as you think. Plus, these drones would do a better job than any conventional bomb...
@@jonnyj. The WW2 busters might not penetrate a sci-fi level bunker construction, but I get your point. That's my point exactly too. There is no real need for these drones other than automated hunter-killers tracking down stragglers, a base would be better served by a base-buster. At least in The Matrix there is an explanation for the machines using inefficient humans for their construct: they are hardware human-focused AI so their revenge and their mania is to enslave rather than truly eradicate.
That's not even science fiction right now. There are drones that can easily destroy military camps and settlements. They're just not doing it to YOUR world... yet.
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.
@@DogeTrump Yeah. When the Jaegers in Pacific Rim moved it felt like they were the size that they were shown to be, not Cgi. The Jaegers in Uprising feel like they're Cgi.

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.
@@remnant651 Drones make operational noises that are unavoidable due to the way they function. The beeps and groans these drones are making is not needed, it was intentionally put on them and there is no reason for it to be there. It's basically asking the audience to believe that this AI that designed the things wanted to give audio cues for every single drone action. That is wasted resources and power that could've been used for something else, it just makes no sense when the things kill everything on sight except for the one guy who already knows how they operate and what they do. Who are those beeps and groans for? The audience. It was done to make them seem intimidating, but it is illogical. It's the killer drone equivalent to every single movie featuring a sci fi or fantasy monster of some sort that stops attacking to just stand perfectly still and roar. No living creature on this earth behaves this way because it is a profoundly stupid thing to do. If you've ever seen predators actually go after something, once they are locked into "kill it" mode, they just run as fast as they can and try to take it down as fast and efficiently as possible. They don't just pause mid chase to randomly roar. This shit is done for the audience and to provide convenient opportunities for the protagonists to escape their predicament because in a more realistic scenario they would've probably died in the first few seconds of being attacked.
@@TheDrexxus it was a genuine question. This is hardly the equivalent of creatures roaring arbitrarily during a chase or fight. They are noises that could emit during realistic combat. Furthermore, in the end of the film it was revealed that there was a prolific amount of Tom Cruise agents. The noises indicate functions and imminent threat, for a much larger force than just one man. In a barren wasteland such as this, it is necessary to indicate when shit is about to throw down for these field agents to either evade or know when they are in the clear. Yes you are right - it was done for the cinematic effect, however drone noises aren’t always redundant. Unless the assault force/oppressor/hunter etc. is entirely comprised of drones that shoot on sight, in which case your point stands.
it may also be that the drones make this sound to demoralize, as these machines were made to kill humans, it may be that the drones make these noises to scare because humans are afraid, and these noises could be remembered by a combatant and demolish him / scare him, although it wouldn't make much sense since what matters is killing humans not traumatizing them, but hey, it's my theory.
@@TheDrexxus the reason they make those noises is to prevent friendly fire. The drone will give you a chance to identify yourself before they terminate you. Think like today the electric cars have to make a noise when they are driven under a certain speed for the safety of other people who may not hear the car. Therefore the sounds are perfectly justifiable. There is a scene in the movie where the drone doesn’t process the ID check from Tom. You can imagine this could have lead to incidents over time and the Tet had to create a failsafe by using sound to indicate the ID wasn’t processed.
@@misterprecocious2491 Yeah, but despite that, a part of their programming tells them to kill humans, and another part of their programming tells them not to kill Jack. Sounds like @Dan CL simplified it pretty well.
“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
@Francesco Loren I literally don't understand what you're trying to tell me😭😭😭😭 On my original reply, I asked for the source of the information, preferably the name of the robot, because Google is kinda terrible and good at the same time.
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.
What is most strange that not everyone is armed with weapon to blow those drones with single shot. They had more than enough time to make those guns...
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...
The most terrifying thing is that all their movements are dynamically realistic and can be mastered by a real drone. There are no fake performances in here. Every time humans attacked the drone, it had to manage how to neutralize humans located in different angles by executing only the option card of movements its busters allowed it to do. Excuse my english.
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.
@@akingbadeomosebi1495 If you had a drone smart enough, it wouldn't need an internet connection to function. Then you could just take the antenna off and have an un-hackable drone.
@@thatsomeone3818 you don't necessarily need an antenna to hack into its systems, you can lock unto its frequency and brute force your way into it. Look up frequency hacking, it's something happening already.
I've just realized a nice little detail about these Drones having *RCS thrusters* all over it's body that helps the drone to align itself and turn in the air, the smoke things coming out of the holes 2:39 for close up.
The thing I like about these drones is that they play against type and trope to some degree to make their own sort of horror. Sci-fi is rife with the alien threat looking organic and scary, and obviously that can be done really well (Giger/Alien) and it plays into our fear of disease and infection and the wild and that works but obviously its been done. Similarly, a lot sci-fi alien/threat just plays on the idea of death... You get things like the terminators which while modern look like walking skeletons and all the fears that helps conjure. But these things, they could be an Apple product, from the clean whites and chrome and lines to the very "UX approved" sounds they make, and there's something about that when you think about it that is deeply disturbing. Like the apocalypse will be focus-tested to ensure the very best experience.
totally underrated comment. What makes these things so terrifying, to me, is no pause. Even the Terminator could miss, or pause, or size up the target. These? Just kill, no second thought. No worrying about being outnumbered, no tactics, except hard charging at the target and kill.
This is my favourite Sci-Fi movie . It’s impossible to describe how much I love it and every single aspect of it . I have massive Oblivion canvas hanging on a wall in my living room
Never seen this film, but hot damn these are the most legitimately frightening things I’ve ever seen. Their movement is precise, parabolic and calculated; they show no remorse or hesitation, they truly are machines. Look at the way they mathematically snap onto targets. This isn’t Terminator - these ones find a target and kill it. The moment they identify a target to be hostile, it’s dead. The sound design is brilliant too. Their weaponry doesn’t sound human, nor does any of their noises.
Yeah, but they could have skipped that one moment, when the drone for the first and last time - contradicting everything it did before - stops and waits before taking a shot at the wifu, allowing it to be killed... They could have just skipped that easily, just have the drone fly in, start shooting immediately as always, killing a few people - and just before it hits the wifu, its gets shot down. No need for this random delay... The whole movie is kinda like this: awesome, AWESOME design and feeling... and then a stupid story-based decision ruins it a bit...
@@psychepeteschannel5500 Are you talking about the drone that was being repaired in the sky house? Because that one aims at Tom Cruise and tries to open fire, but it's guns don't work. Possibly it had no ammunition loaded.
@@ReddwarfIV Nope, talking about the scene where the drone massacres the rebel hideout with extreme speed and precision, but then stops and thinks about it when it corners Jacks real/forgotten wife with a bunch of rebels in a dead end.
I love the drones in this film. They're one of those things that really shouldn't be scary but they absolutely are. I have similar feelings about the Daleks but in a totally different way.
Awesome. Best drones I've seen in a movie. And that including the Stark drones in spiderman far from home. There is one other movie with scary drones, those alien shredders in Battleship.
Oblivion is kind of its own version of sci-fi. It's horror-ish psychologically, it's action-packed, and it's also mildly realistic. The drones represented all three: they are extremely realistic in design and "personality", they cause a lot of psychological horror about just how close we already are to inventing such murderous machines, and, of course, they spend 90% of their time on-screen terminating hostiles with lots of noise and light.
There is a slight cuteness about the design about how the eye/scanner setup sorta looks like he is serious frowning. But at the same time it's menacing and frightening. And there is also a slight Portal style to the look. Great job on the design!
IMO these are by far the best drones to ever rock a sci-fi movie. Their brilliant engineering/design & super cool sounds produced during command execution all make for a really nostalgic awesome tech feel. Excellently done by Tom Cruise.
These are the machines from sci-fi movies that were terrifying scary (in no particular order): 1)Tripods from War of the Worlds 2) Drones from Oblivion 3) Sentinels from X-men: Days of Future Past I've watched many sci-fi movies but those three were the scariest ones for me.
The sound effects in this movie were perfect. For me it’s like finding perfection and wanting to experience it again and again. This is why l watched the movie 5 times now. It’s a work of art in design and sound engineering.
The low growl of the drone is just so gloomy and scary. The first time i watched this movie I really felt scared for Tom. Definitely one of the best sci Fi movies of the recent years.
Me too… But it’s nearly Impossible to find original scores or sounds like that from a big budget movie… The sound design in the whole film was really good
@@CaptainM792 Okay, but like seriously you are everywhere from Lego Videos to Star Wars to Marvel like you are more common for me to find than Justin Y. And Justin is everywhere! Sure we can be friends but yo this can't be a coincidence I find you everywhere, everyday.
That's the whole point of telling a story, you wouldn't tell the story of a guy that dies 5 minutes into a war. You would tell a story about someone that lived, call it luck but somehow they make it through the war or whatever situation is going on.
La mejor película de ciencia ficción de todos los tiempos... Impresionante en todos los aspectos, los lugares, realismo, la historia en si es hermosa. La música magnífica...realmente sin palabras
Alpha Chess Master learned chess in four hours, and has beaten all human, and machine challengers. OpenAI DOTA 2 AI created strategies beat both human individuals, and teams at 99.6% success rate over 7200 sessions. Consensus has Artificial General Intelligence arriving in 2043.
Lets also have them make a bunch of noises for no reason, because the audience is stupid and needs the drones to act like people so they can figure out what's happening.
The sound, movement, and Actual threat these drones posed made them Great. Enemies in movies that never actually do severe damage can only make threats that feel, hollow.
Saw this movie in the Cinema. when the first time one of these drones appears on screen I got chills. truly a masterwork of design and implementation. 10/10
No.... I thought no one would notice but like everybody has.... I was cutting out a stupid noise that the Drone makes when it's going down. It was really annoying. Sound designers have a habit of putting animal sounds in robotic destructions so I didn't want that and I thought no one would notice but everybody has =(
Fascinating designs for the film, I hope to fly a craft like the one in the film one day, or see it being built. The drones are amazing, one day military drones will be as effective as the ones in the film, and that is terrifying too.

The interface of drone's vision is cool by the way, looks very futuristic. To be honest - I love such things, like drones, automatic turrets or machines, that have some visors or oculars, with red sight or other, but brighter in red side. It confirms their intention to destroy the designated target. To terminate it, without hesitation or mercy, unless they have database where are some targets that cannot be killed. The visuals, the sounds - they're so f**king cool! Especially their faces - it's just full of cold metal, that awaits command to terminate any life sequence. Last thing that impressed me - was Mototerminator, but these things... They're far more dangerous. And the owner of them was extremely cautious in self-security. I still wish to see some movies with these things - being modified with more hidden weapons. Just to see how this metal sphere is about to exterminate the whole population of any life force.
The design of these things is amazing but how strong their armor is, is inconsistent. They can take salvos of twin-linked .cal 50 machine guns but one shot with these laser guns can penetrate them?
Those damn drones are terrifying, if I had the manpower I would try to get my hands on the tech needed to destroy them. In order to reverse engineer more effective versions of them.
I like that the drones never stop being dangerous, they never get Worfed or conservation of ninjutsu'ed, one drone is deadly, three nearly wiped out the resistance.
Thats so amazing finding this video and all these comments below. Guys I wanna say that I was thinking that I'm freak and I'm alone in this world who fell in love with these drones (especially the sound they produce) thank you so much for all of you!
Imagine if these drones were just the detached heads from robotic bodies, that scout/fly around, but could reattach to their bodies when ambulism or interaction with the environment was needed, or perhaps the bodies had a significantly greater armament.
This video prompted a thought. I’d love a prequel that showed the TET successfully conquering another world or even its creation and creators giving it its primary mission.
