The Patriot Ledger

It's exactly the sort of cheesy, awkward sci-fi junk Cruise's savior L. Ron Hubbard used to crank out before he ventured into the lucrative field of cult religion.

Oblivion is too somber to cater in escapist thrills and too vacuous to offer emotional or intellectual engagement.

as Jack Harper, Cruise, at his wrinkle-free handsomest, fits perfectly into Kosinski's worlds -- both the soulless universe of 2077 and the emotionally beige movie of 2013.

A classic case of concept being better than execution.

We Got This Covered

Joseph Kosinski's Oblivion is far from original and instead acts as yet another genre rip-off that looks shiny and expensive, but is hollow and lifeless where it counts

This is one that we'll basically have to write off as a missed opportunity. It looks great and is mildly interesting at times, but in the end, there's just not much that's particularly memorable here.

This visually beautiful film falters with a meandering plot.

Cobbled from so many familiar sci-fi classics that every single plot point is clearly visible from a mile away.

It's a noble attempt to focus on a love story within a blockbuster sci-fi summer movie; it's too bad that love cost us the chance to have a fun ride into the future.

It's a shame the story can't live up to the incredible visuals.

The Popcorn Junkie

A great introduction to the sci-fi genre if you've been living in a nuclear fallout shelter since the 1950s. For those more familiar with the genre, it's an elaborate sci-fi theme park ride

Absent of any sense of self-awareness, Oblivion seems only self-serious, a ponderous mess both misguided and unaware.

Kosinski continues to lavish far more thought on how his elaborate fantasy worlds look than how they work, and neither the politics nor the human stakes here coalesce into rational or relatable drama.

You start wondering whether director Joseph Kosinski and screenwriters Karl Gajdusek and Michael DeBruyn have any original ideas of their own. And then you realize they don't.

American Profile

The jam-packed storyline piles on themes and sci-fi clichés, pompously wraps them around an obscure Victorian era poem, then throws in an Andrew Wyeth painting for good cultural measure.

An admirable failure; an overlong, awkwardly paced mishmash of cool but familiar ideas and all-too predictable plot-twists.

If nothing else, "Oblivion" will go down in film history as the movie where Tom Cruise pilots a white, sperm-shaped craft into a giant space uterus.

For all its dystopian sweep and moody posturing, Oblivion is too underpowered and underwritten to linger for long in the memory.

Although the film is derivative and predictable, it nonetheless makes no sense whatsoever in the end.
