So far, OBLIVION has seen some pretty good reviews, with even the “rotten” ones still sounding overwhelmingly positive. Joseph Kosinski‘s follow up to TRON: LEGACY most certainly has three great things going for it; 1) Tom Cruise 2) Kosinski 3) M83’s score. Those three factors alone make a compelling argument for the film. Based on the clips, trailers, and featurettes we’ve seen so far, I’d say we’re in good hands, even if it’s not some kind of sci-fi masterpiece. To further drive the point home is this clip from the film, which features an in-air escape from the bubbleship with Cruise and co-star Olga Kurylenko.
At the end of the clip you can see Cruise’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where the late-night host gives the actor a “one-liner” challenge. Cruise seemed a little blindsided by the request, but obliged regardless and was a good sport about the whole thing:
Escape the one-liners:
Lastly, we have our look at Mondo’s art for the 2xLP vinyl gatefold LP, illustrated by artist Kilian Eng. For collectors this looks like a really cool item to have. For fans of Mondo’s usual design stylings, it’s just a cool thing to see. If you’re so inclined to purchase, head over to Mondo on April 26 to snag one. The soundtrack itself is available now and is simply awesome.
Take a look:
OBLIVION, starring Tom Cruise, Olga Kurylenko, Morgan Freeman, Melissa Leo, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and Andrea Riseborough, opens on April 19, 2013.
