	Media	Author	Review
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"As the storyline endlessly and confusingly shifts from one reality to another, it’s all too easy to tune out until we encounter one that’s interesting. Alas, that never happens."
		Noah Berlatsky Chicago Reader	"A remarkably incoherent farrago of sci-fi tropes and Christian proselytizing."
		Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media	"It has decent visual effects and acting, but this faith-based sci-fi drama struggles with an uneven screenplay (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Nadir Samara Screen Rant	"The film tries desperately to scare us with the idea of a world without belief, but has neither the action nor dialogue to pull off such a feat (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 5)"
		Peter Debruge Variety	"An awkward faith-based sci-fi thriller (...) The film takes a hard turn into amateur territory"
		Catherine Bray The Guardian	"From the studio that brought us Sound of Freedom, here is a convoluted parallel universe film based on the bible story – and yes, sitting through it is an ordeal (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Tyler Doupe Dread Central	"[It] misrepresents itself as an action-packed sci-fi thriller when it is anything but (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
