Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Finally becomes a somber, sentimental and rather profound romantic fantasy that is more true to the spirit of the Golden Age of science-fiction writing than possibly any other movie of the '90s.

New York Daily News
A fragmented, episodic feel and a conclusion that seems both remote and remote-controlled.

Entertains but never quite engages.

A mainstream holiday movie, complete with stupendous special effects, amazing make-up artistry and sumptuous production design.

Chicago Sun-Times
Begins with promise, proceeds in fits and starts, and finally sinks into a cornball drone of greeting-card sentiment.
