The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
Oblivion is an absolutely gorgeous film dramatically caught between its aspirations for poetic romanticism and the demands of heavy sci-fi action. After a captivating beginning brimming with mystery and evident ambition, the air gradually seeps out of the balloon that keeps this thinly populated tale aloft, leaving the ultimate impression of a nice try that falls somewhat short of the mark.

The Playlist - Oliver Lyttelton
It is overlong, and familiar, and never quite hits top gear -- it's never especially bad, but neither is it especially excellent, beyond the visual wow factor. But there's still a lot to admire in the film, not least that it's engaging from the first moment to the last.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service - Roger Moore
That doesn’t make Oblivion a bad movie, just a familiar one — generic.

Empire - Olly Richards
Kosinski has again built a fantasy world that feels real to its core, but once more put most effort into the scenery and too little into the people.

Total Film - Unnamed
It isn’t a reboot or reimagining, refreshingly, but Oblivion plays like a stylised remix of superior sci-fi ground-breakers. Cruise and Kosinski: they might be an effective team, but pioneers they’re not.
