Charlotte Observer -
I can't explain the film's main problem without giving plot points away; suffice to say that, after decades of watching Earth, Klaatu's team of observers has missed a crucial event you and I witness every day. I can tell you about the secondary problem, though: too much money.

Philadelphia Inquirer -
An entertaining rethink of the 1951 classic.

The A.V. Club -
Like the big shiny sphere at its center, the film is fairly pretty, but there's no real sense that there's anything inside it.

Village Voice -
The problem here is that there are no big ideas.

Chicago Sun-Times -
All this is presented in an expensive, good-looking film that is well-made by Scott Derrickson, but to no avail.
