	Author	Review
United States	Sara Stewart New York Post	"‘Approaching the Unknown’ is ‘Martian’ minus the funny (and the Mars) (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"If 'Approaching the Unknown' isn't entirely satisfying, Mr. Strong reaches high with his portrayal of the unraveling of a man who believes survival is a matter of engineering"	NEU
United States	Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"In its own compact, budget-conscious way, it’s quite a stirring if low-key journey"	POS
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"An excruciatingly slow and suspense-free sci-fi epic in miniature"	NEG
