Tom Cruise is banking on "Oblivion" to return him to the top of the box office heap, but critics are lukewarm on the science-fiction film.
The "Top Gun" actor's film hits theaters following a series of flops like last summer's "Rock of Ages" and negative publicity surrounding the collapse of his marriage to Katie Holmes.
"Oblivion" finds Cruise as one of the last remaining humans on Earth following an alien invasion. His mission is to extract the planet's remaining natural resources, before joining the rest of the survivors on Titan. Yet, Cruise's space ranger finds out that there are other human beings living on earth beyond his team of adventurers, forcing him to question the official explanation about what happened to his home.
