8 foreign reviews of Oblivion (2013)

1. Nöjesguiden

6.7 / 10

Translated from swedish: The best part of the film is the first half, when we get to follow Harper on the lonely, repetitive days in a desolate land that is allowed to speak for itself. It is gloomy and grand, constantly with the oppressive feeling that something is really off.

2. Moviezine

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: As a soft start before the more spectacular superheroes and space operas of the summer, "Oblivion" does what it should, entertaining and satisfying the sci-fi craving.

3. Filmeye

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Oblivion" doesn't really engage, but it's solid craftsmanship and a story that works even though it's a bit predictable, despite several different twists.

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: Kosinski wants to stand up for culture and human values, but his story is too messy to make any real impact.

7. Sveriges Radio

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: Too slow, sweeping, and clichéd.

8. Kulturbloggen

2 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Oblivion" boasts that its story does not have any source material, but rather that it is an original story in this age of adaptations and sequels. Considering how shamelessly this film has stolen from other, better films, both in terms of plot and design, one does not know whether to laugh or cry at this.
