Reviews
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Starts off an aggressively derivative sci-fi thriller, then morphs into an above-average chase melodrama.
|
|
ReelViews -
There's enough fun to be had that it's almost possible to ignore the stupidity of the story and the cavity that replaces character development.
|
|
Variety -
Frenetic actioner about refugees from a genetic cloning plant starts off intriguingly, burns up its ideas in the first hour and pads out the rest with joltingly repetitive action sequences.
|
|
Village Voice -
This is pure essence of Bay--it's big, it's loud, it has no context, and if you show up tanked, I'm sure it's really quite poetic.

Time -
For all the menace of its techno-prattle, its implicit boosts for humanism and its swell production design, the picture is finally a bore. Sci-fi was more powerful when its special effects were cheap and crude, its ideas simple but potently stated.
