Reviews


75
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - William Arnold
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.
63
New York Daily News - Jack Mathews
A fragmented, episodic feel and a conclusion that seems both remote and remote-controlled.
63
Miami Herald - Curtis Morgan
Entertains but never quite engages.
60
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas
A mainstream holiday movie, complete with stupendous special effects, amazing make-up artistry and sumptuous production design.
50
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Begins with promise, proceeds in fits and starts, and finally sinks into a cornball drone of greeting-card sentiment.
