Los Angeles Times -
Leviathan is Alien under water. It's not nearly as sophisticated or as terrifying as the Ridley Scott film, but it looks good and moves fast. It's elementary fun with a couple of scary moments along the way.

Empire -
A safe, effectively jumpy transfer of Alien to the depths that restores the fear of Jaws into an environment momentarily softened by The Abyss.
|
|
The New York Times -
Leviathan compares favorably with the other recent aquatic horror film Deepstar Six but probably not with anything else.
|
|
Slant Magazine -
A mediocre, quasi-diverting B movie.

|
Washington Post -
Because Cosmatos has put together a decent cast and a proficient crew, Leviathan is intermittently interesting, but it's a bad sign that the movie starts losing its punch when the monster shows up.
