	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"A vast, silly extravaganza that delivers a certain amount of fun, once it stops taking itself seriously (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"A sci-fi which balances big themes and claustrophobic action with apparent ease (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS

United States	Cindy White IGN	"This is a film that is purely of its era, but that's just a part of its charm"	POS
