MOVIE REVIEW OBLIVION Running time: 124 minutes. Rated PG-13 (violence, profanity, partial nudity). At the Empire, the Lincoln Square, the Kips Bay, others In Oblivion, Tom Cruise plays a post-apocalyptic handyman who listens to 60s tunes, hangs around on a space station and lovingly brings an Earth plant to his girlfriend. So Top Gun has become Wall-E. At least Cruise does get to fly around an aircraft again: With its round twin gun turrets and a narrow cockpit in between, it looks like a funny nose and glasses, or possibly an intergalactic brassiere. So maybe think of him as Maverick-E. Its 2077, 60 years since Earth was destroyed when a foul breed of mysterious alien attackers called the Scavengers, or Scavs, destroyed the moon, which unleashed tsunamis and earthquakes that half-wrecked our planet. Then humankind, in fighting back, ruined the other half with a nuclear war. Universal Tom Cruise in 'Oblivion' But all of this is just an excuse for New York landmarks to be trash...

The good news: Here's a lavish, serious science-fiction picture, one that on occasion transcends big-budget hit-making convention to glance against grandeur. Joseph Kosinski's Oblivion , based on his own graphic novel, is one of those futuristic puzzlers whose dramatic energies are most invested not in the characters or their fates exactly but in the slow revelation of its own premise. You'll begin to doubt the story's initial setup it's 2077, and Earth is mostly uninhabitable after humanity defeated an invading alien force the second that its hero mentions having recently had his memory wiped and that his wife has been "assigned" to him. Which brings us to Tom Cruise, the not-necessarily-good news. However engaging its end-times mysteries, Oblivion is still a Tom Cruise movie. He's rarely credible these days playing specific humans, but he is without peer as Mr. Charge-Ahead Movie Hero, the guy who feels only one thing at a time, always exactly wha...

Speaking at the time, he said: "To learn about the history of my family - it was incredible. "I knew I was Irish but I had no idea where it went and the depth of it. It's a great honour for me and for my whole family - I can't wait to bring it back to them and enlighten them on their history. "I'm very proud t...

RELATED: 'Prometheus' Teaser Scares and Intrigues Last month it was the kids who were saving the movie industry , according to some MPAA figures, but now some other researcher says that old people are the ones that the biz needs to pay attention to. Well, specifically movie theaters, and specifically Baby Boomers. See, a marketing research firm did a presentation at the theater owners convention CinemaCon today, saying that theaters need to "consider more sophisticated concessions for the 55+ crowd, including espresso, red wine, cookies or cake, cheese or 'something that doesnt make my cholesterol go up.'"
