Reviews

Village Voice -
Like a feature-length Saturday morning cartoon with dashes of violence so graphic you'd swear you'd just stepped into Ralph Bakshi's Wizards. Which isn't to say that Goliath is good so much as compellingly weird on occasion.
|
|
The Dissolve -
Director Joe Pearson (who also has a mysterious “created by” credit) and screenwriter David Abramowitz have ginned up a fan-fiction-y premise that suggests much more apocalyptic fun than it ultimately delivers.
|
|
The New York Times -
Considering that the fate of humankind is at stake, War of the Worlds: Goliath is remarkably uninvolving.
|
|
Variety -
Rote character writing, voicing and animation devalue the more impressive design elements of Joe Pearson’s long-aborning project.

The main takeaway from War of the Worlds Goliath is that such a yearning still burns in some folks. If its articulation here were more compelling, it might have struck me as stirring rather than merely odd.
