OBLIVION [2013]

Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski continues his love for kitschy 70's sci-fi films with the Tom Cruise driven post-apocalyptic Oblivion.
I loved the whole look of the film and it's atmosphere but it fell short with any sort of an engaging story however it thankfully picks up after 45 minutes of yawning.  It does nothing original to add to the genre and teeters between watered down rip-off and a genuine love letter to the films it's inspired by.  When all is said and done, it's simply just "okay".
