Variety - Todd McCarthy
Although The Postman conveys a thoroughly imagined vision of a future society, its basic concerns are actually far from those of traditional sci-fi, as it quickly comes to feel more like a Western than anything else.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
If you take The Postman at face value - that it's a straightforward, post- apocalyptic adventure tale, then it could seem like one of the worst movies of the year, if not of all time.
50
Chicago Reader - Lisa Alspector
It's tempting to accuse director and star Kevin Costner of taking the idea of vanity production to a new level in this frontier adventure based on a book by David Brin.
40
TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh
Costner's ponderous post-apocalyptic morality tale feels every minute of its nearly three hours.
40
Austin Chronicle - Russell Smith
Regrettably, The Postman is just one more reminder of what a nonfactor sincerity often is in terms of artistic merit.
