The sci-fi epic Oblivion arrives in theaters this Friday and though its not quite summer, Peter Travers notes its massive scale and impressive visuals feel like June blockbuster material.
Review: Oblivion
Tom Cruise plays Jack Harper, a man who seemingly lives alone on Earth gathering resources from a wasted, post-apocalyptic planet. Hes accompanied by an assistant (Andrea Riseborough) who doesnt descend from their sky-high offices. Then Jack meets Malcolm (Morgan Freeman), the leader of an underground resistance movement, and he learns the truth about Earths destruction and his role in the current world.
Though it boasts big names and a big premise, Oblivion feels derivative and cobbled together from other futuristic fare, says Travers: Its every other sci-fi movie thats ever been made. Director Joseph Kosinski previously helmed Tron Legacy, which felt inhuman to Travers, and this film suffers from the same issues. It steals from better movies; it wouldve been better off stealing from worse movies, Travers says. It makes you think how much you enjoyInception orThe Matrix orWall-E. Meanwhile, youre sitting there saying, Whats going on in this movie?'
