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.
