I watched Oblivion online and fast forwarded through at least 2/3 of it. Lackluster at best.

I’ve seen no trailers. That may be to my benefit (see reason number 1 in the article I linked to).

It sounds like it is good in a Bladerunner sort of way. I like REAL science fiction because it is not just about Sci-fi technology. It is about ideas and worldviews and getting people to think about things outside the box. That kind of Sci-Fi rarely makes it to the big screen. It sounds like there may be a lot of that in this movie.

It sounds like how much you enjoy this movie has a lot to do with what you expect it to be.

I’ve noticed that movies that got all their accolades for being an audio-visual extravaganza are always a dissapointment if you see them in low rez and/or low-fi. Could that have been part of it for you?

Ever seen 2001 A Space Odyssey on a 17” black and white TV? I have. ick.
