Yes, saw the Oblivion trailers as well.  Very disappointed in the USC in
the far off future.  I'm not sure if the whole movie is like that.  Some
movies will use a puzzling mixture of USC and metric.  Iron Man 3, for
instance, uses degrees Celsius to describe the explosion temperatures which
are a key element in plot, but alongside that distances are in yards, feet,
and miles.
