The New York Times -
While those seeking interplanetary scenarios may want more details, fans of endurance stories will be pleased. Indeed, Passage to Mars has the effect of making a trip to another world appear almost secondary. The journey undertaken here seems nearly as frightful and fascinating.

Village Voice -
Passage to Mars is almost apologetic about being stuck on our world; to make up for it, it continually cuts to digital explorations of Mars itself, while Quinto asks more haunting questions. It's a thrill to see so careful a re-creation — and some actual footage — of Martian geography.

We Got This Covered -
Jeauffre's blending of terrestrial and extraterrestrial imagery is hypnotizing and spectacular, but this story of survival feels too bloodless to appeal to the average viewer.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Danger doesn't quite translate into sustained drama here, in part because the reliance on voiceover distances us from the action.

Los Angeles Times -
[A] misguided hybrid that makes tediously clear from the outset that the conceit just isn’t working.
