Oblivion

56%

What's it about? While working as a repairman on an abandoned, post-Apocalyptic Planet Earth, Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) discovers that he's not alone -- and that everything he knows has been a lie.

Who's it for? It's rated PG-13 "sci-fi action violence, brief strong language, and some sensuality/nudity." It's safe for teens, as the action is not particularly intense..

Is it any good? Critics say Oblivion is visually striking but narratively thin, though Cruise's strong performance helps to enliven the proceedings.

This looks like an ok movie. There hasn't been anything thats made it stand out in its marketing.

Think they're hoping Tom Cruises star power will carry it through.
