\"OBN_Adv1Sht_Duo\"<\/a>1. Oblivion (Universal, 3,782 Theaters, 126 Minutes, Rated PG-13):\u00a0<\/strong>It is not going to be good year for comic book film haters when even unpublished graphic novels get adapted into films.<\/p>\n

This film was originally supposed to be a graphic novel published by Radical Comics (which is less of a comic book company than a ‘Hey! Hollywood! Look at me! We’re an IP factory!” company), but was optioned for the screen before the comic could be published. And since, like I said, Radical publishes comics pretty much so they can be shown to Hollywood studios\u00a0and licensed\u00a0to them, having a comic book for this work would be superfluous.<\/p>\n

The film stars Tom Cruise as one of the last remaining humans, whose job is scouring a post-Alien invasion Earth for what few remaining natural resources are left to take to a human settlement on Titan. Or, so he thinks. But he will soon find out that what he believes is true might not actually be what is really going on.<\/p>\n
