Reviews

Newsweek -
This is an elaborate production, but all the jazzy sets and explosions in the world can't disguise the story's complete lack of urgency.

|
Austin Chronicle -
This new film version, sad to say, is a hollow shell of the original series.
|
|
ReelViews -
This film is an absolute mess.

|
Los Angeles Times -
So how then do you duplicate a magic aura from 30 years ago? You don't.

|
Chicago Reader -
The grasping novelty of the visuals doesn't rival the uncharismatic leads or the hopelessly, unironically banal plot.
