Uncomfortable blend of sci-fi and western, never really pulls it together. Take away the stop action scorpions and you have a pretty dull western. Take away the western and you have an amateurish sci-fi. The characters are all cartoon like and some scenes are not only unnecessary, but go on far too long. Trashing the store for instance could have been left on the cutting room floor. I realize this is not "Casablanca", but "Oblivion" really doesn't know what it wants to be. Sci-fi fans are certain to be disappointed, and western fans will find the script boring. I wanted to find a gem here, but unfortunately did not. - MERK

What do you expect? After all, these are the people that brought you Jack Deth and the Trancers movies! It's an occasionally slow-paced sci-fi western parody. The acting is mostly dreadful, and the plot is telegraphed a mile away, but if you didn't expect that from the Full Moon folks, you deserve what you get. A movie best experienced with friends and vast quantities of intoxicants. Those of us who read comics in the 70s will get the "Man-Thing" reference, and it is a hoot to see George Takei telling a bottle of whiskey, "Jim Beam me up!" Meg Foster is totally wasted as a cyborg deputy, but she does what she can with a terrible role. I loved Musetta Vander as the S&M fantasy gal Lash. A good bad movie in spite of occasional slow bits and obvious plotting. MST3K material for sure.
