Review: Tom Cruise's 'Oblivion' a sci-fi adventure to remember

Tom Cruise, 'Oblivion' going nowhere, glacially ★★
Something's wrong. Tom Cruise, or, rather, Jack Harper, his character in the placid new science-fiction adventure "Oblivion," can't shake his dreams of a woman giving him the big eyes on the observation deck of the Empire State Building. It's 2077....

Film's message blunt, clear ★★★
We unplug our phone from the charger, pop in our earbuds and go out to seize the day. We text compulsively, post on Facebook obsessively, and when it comes time to shop, date or hook up, we log on, boot up and tune out. That's the world we're living...
