They just don't make em like Oblivion anymore. This movie is so bad that it's good. It's like watching a movie that was supposed to be serious but halfway through they decided it should be a comedy. There are some really great lines in here that should not be missed. "Not man enough? or maybe you're too much man, too much... HU-man?" or the s**t a brick in your pants funny "associ-whats?" line. Or the bingo during the funeral "B9!" Oh man, I'm cracking up right now writing this. And of course the best part is that it ends with "to be continued" and a hilarious preview of the sequel. Anyways, if you want to see a really unintentionally funny movie with microphones and ads for other movies blatantly in several shots then see this now, i concur with the beer suggestion of these other guys too. Oblivion, really great movie, watch it.
... View MoreOblivion doesn't take itself seriously and you shouldn't take it seriously either. While it makes a virtue out of cliche and easily achieves its aim of being "so bad that it's good" it has a wagon load of in jokes, half a dozen cult actors and one very sexy woman known as Lash. It's well worth top billing at a late night beer and pizza party.
... View MoreOblivion is a low-budget cheesy space-western with so many in-jokes and running gags and stereotypes that it has twice been the cornerstone of video parties at my place!The story is coherent-but-flimsy. The real fun is in the bizarre special-effects, the character references, the costumes, etc.To enjoy this movie, make sure you know what the major players have done before. Keep it in mind. Listen to every word. Have half-a-dozen other people there. With lots of snacks or beer.Oh, and the plot? Who cares. Much like a Batman or Addam's Family movie (for several reasons, both), this movie is about look, feel, and fun. Plot is almost incidental.
... View MoreI only rented this movie because Peter David's name is attached to it. He wrote the screenplay, he's a good writer, the conclusion seemed obvious. Boy was I wrong. The story sucked, the dialogue was week, and the characters were pathetic. I did like the funeral scene where the BINGO game upstairs kept interrupting the speeches, otherwise crap, crap, crap, crap, and a good looking woman in a tight fitting dominatrix/western costume.
