All
style, no substance is the refrain that ran through my head watching
writer/director Joseph Kosinski’s latest film, Oblivion.
This is also the precise sentiment created by his previous film, Tron:
Legacy. Though the Tom Cruise-starring science fiction adventure is
breathtaking to look at, there is nothing to the film aside from the visuals. Bland,
predictable, and frankly boring, Oblivion is an empty
stylistic exercise, and feels like a slick bit of advertising, not a movie.
