According to Film Drunk, “Oblivion is the story of a post-war Earth that has been ravaged by an alien war, and [star Tom] Cruise is playing mop-up duty on the surface as he takes orders from a spaceship full of people.” So, WALL-E for grownups with bad taste. The trailers so far have been uninspiring and bleak, unlike the stirring title track on the film’s soundtrack, composed by M83’s symphony-builder Anthony Gonzalez and sung by Susanne Sundfør.
The song also works well played over Les Grossman’s Tropic Thunder dance. M83 is the Ludacris of space rock.
