Oblivion Movie Review: | |
| 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. Guy Lodge-Time Out A moderately clever dystopian mindbender with a gratifying human pulse, despite some questionable narrative developments along the way. Justin Chang-Variety Oblivion is one of the best-looking bad films ever made. Shaun Munro-What Culture It is just as well director Joseph Kosinski renders his vision of a post-apocalyptic Earth with such crisp acuity, because his story plays a little fuzzy at times. Simon Foster-Screen-Space Overlong and familiar...it's never especially bad, but neither is it especially excellent, beyond the visual wow factor. But there's still a lot to admire in the film, not least that it's engaging from the first moment to the last. Oliver Lyttelton-The Playlist Cast yourself into oblivion. Tim Evans-Sky Movies Never boring but only occasionally brilliant. Adam Woodward-Little White Lies Much like his last film, Tron: Legacy, writer/director Joseph Kosinki has created a good-looking but unengaging experience. David Edwards-Daily Mirror [UK] The script's philosophical musings about humanity and self-sacrifice are almost as flimsy as the central love triangle that fails to ignite the emotional afterburners for a slam-bang finale. Damon Smith-Birmingham Post Kosinski has again built a fantasy world that feels real to its core, but once more put most effort into the scenery and too little into the people. Olly Richards-Empire Magazine Oblivion is a visual feast with strong performances and an intriguing central mystery, but it's slightly let down by a nakedly derivative script and a general lack of warmth. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon Intelligent, innovative and intimate sci-fi is always welcome, but Oblivion isn't quite it. Kevin Harley-Total Film Sci-fi fans ... may feel like they've seen much of this before, albeit rarely put together this stunningly. Tim Grierson-Screen International Oblivion may impress with its scale. But rather like Kosinski's depiction of Earth, it feels devoid of humanity - and that's a major design flaw. James Mottram-The List It's a shame the lack of originality becomes a distraction forty minutes in and the spectacle isn't enough to stem the overriding sense of déjà vu. Adam Lowes-HeyUGuys While it tries hard to resurrect the spirit of '60s and '70s sci-fi, what it actually feels more like is The Matrix without the benefit of a bullet time-like gimmick. Dave Golder-SFX Magazine There is a small, not-so-convincing emotional element to Oblivion but this is a film to be enjoyed more for its mystery and intrigue. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane Writers who direct their own rather complex stories often are too familiar with the material to be able to really clarify it for the audience Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile Does its best to dazzle by its myriad of special effects but confuses itself. Visuals superb, though... and best part is the contrasting dynamic between Cruise and his two striking female co-stars Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile The pace is far less frenetic than other recent actioners, and the tone more thoughtful. With a lovely score and particularly nice performances from its central trio, the final cut of Oblivion suggests greatness was not entirely out of reach. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix | |
