Film review: 'Oblivion' is aptly named for its place in cinema history
Special to The Herald-MailI was prejudiced against "Oblivion" because about a week before it opened. A friend of mine got to see a movie in advance and left after the first half hour. At around the 31-minute mark, I was jealous of my friend. It's not a terrible movie in that...Tags: Entertainment, Oblivion (movie), Tom Cruise, Olga Kurylenko, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

Film Review: Pair is part lackluster, part confusing
Terrence Malick became a critics' darling, a hot young director to watch, with his first two features, "Badlands" (1973) and "Days of Heaven" (1978). Then he disappeared for 20 years. By the time he returned with "The Thin Red Line," he had become,...

The Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez column
Miami HeraldFor its first hour or so, Oblivion is a visually mesmerizing, intriguing picture that doesn't feel like the same-old: It engages your eyes and piques your curiosity.

Cape Cod Times, Hyannis, Mass., Tim Miller column
Cape Cod Times, Hyannis, Mass."Oblivion," the sci-fi thriller starring Tom Cruise, leads to an interesting place. But it takes an awfully long time getting there.

The superstar in question is Tom Cruise, bankable enabler of this lavish and visually stunning tale, set on...Tags: Wall-E (movie), Health and Medical Professionals, Rock of Ages (movie), Coca-Cola Co., Star Wars (movie)

Movie review: Stellar cast can't save 'Oblivion'
Pittsburgh Post-GazetteIn "Oblivion," Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) says he underwent a "mandatory memory wipe" five years earlier. But he's haunted by vivid recurring dreams that seem more like recollections of a golden time and place and, most of all, a woman. But how can that...Tags: New York Public Library, Tron Legacy (movie) , 2001: A Space Odyssey (movie), Oblivion (movie), Tom Cruise

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....

Movie review: 'Oblivion'
The Fresno BeeAt first glance, "Oblivion" looks like the kind of puffed-up movie that fills theaters during the summer.
