Review of Oblivion

Oblivion (1994)
5/10
Pretty Awful Concept, Execution... Maybe Fun A Little
21 November 2010
Somewhere light years from Earth is a planet with a town called Oblivion, which is populated with cowboys and aliens. Things are peaceful there until Redeye (Andrew Divoff) decides to take over.

The film is poorly written, poorly shot, just plain poor. The acting ranges from good to bad, and there are so many plot holes that do not make sense... maybe they get cleared up in the second film, but one suspects that is extremely unlikely.

The only reason to watch this film is for the cult cast: Isaac Hayes, Andrew Divoff, Julie Newmar and George Takei. And yes, there are jokes about "Star Trek" and Catwoman. Maybe other jokes I missed because I didn't get the references... and the guy who plays Lurch from the Addams Family movies.

Maybe rent this... maybe. Maybe Netflix. Don't buy it, please. The only special feature is a collection of classic Full Moon trailers you could probably see on YouTube for free.
