---|---|---|---|
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "The movie is more successful at introducing the slang and science of the future than incorporating it into a story (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4) | NEU |
United Kingdom | Empire | "Cinematography, production design and music are all top-notch, but the film largely succeeds because of the leads" | POS |

United States | The Washington Post | "Commits a Code 1 violation: It's boring." | NEG |
United States | USA Today | "It's all very ambitious -- and thought-provoking. But, at only 92 minutes, one wishes the script had been further developed and the film executed with more clarity." | NEU |
United States | ReelViews | "Flat, boring, pointless, and nonsensical." | NEG |
United States | Newsday | "Robbins and Morton, both fine actors, have no chemistry whatsoever. Their love story may as well have been written by Jules Verne." | NEG |
