Critics' reviews

"An impressive, thought-provoking astro-adventure that benefits from the biggest screen available."

Peter Debruge: Variety
"If only adapter-director Gavin Hood's movie had been tempered with craft and care and wasn't such a blunt instrument, one that seems designed as a delivery system for CGI derring-do instead of the heartbreaker it should be."

Marc Bernardin: The Hollywood Reporter
"Hard to comprehend and even harder to endure. (...) [Harrison Ford] looks both tired and bored".

Anthony Lane: The New Yorker
"A bit of a tweener, neither triumph nor disaster, a war-games fantasy with a use-by date of Nov. 22, when the new 'Hunger Games' movie comes out. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"

Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune
"It admirably avoids many of the pitfalls of adapting this book, but seems to have lost some of the life and pace as well. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"

Helen O'Hara: Empire
"Watchable sci-fi adventure enlivened by some decent special effects and strong performances from Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford and Viola Davis, though the scripting is a little simplistic in places and the ending feels anti-climactic."

Matthew Turner: View London
"Gavin Hood's adaptation of Orson Scott Card's bestseller remains pacy and visually pleasing despite an overload of ideas. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"

Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
