United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"Things blow up good and Eckhart is a classier actor than his role warrants, but we’ve all been here before. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Here's a science-fiction film that's an insult to the words "science" and "fiction," and the hyphen in between them (...) Rating: ½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"Mostly, this is the cinematic equivalent of a first-person shooter game, one where the Marines possess only slightly more personality than the faceless invaders"	NEG
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"The film, constructed by people of serious talent, is designed to put you through the wringer (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	This jacked-up B-movie hybrid of "Black Hawk Down" and "War of the Worlds" is a modest but crafty triumph of tension over good sense and cliche (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of five)"	POS
