Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fresh
By adeptly combining action and ideas, it proves that Hollywood can still produce astonishing entertainment.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
Strives to be so many things that it ultimately falls away to nothing, a heap of expensive metal parts.
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Rotten
Rather than a thoughtful adaptation of a venerated piece of sci-fi lit, we get a dumbed-down litany of deliberate cliches and digital white noise.
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice

... a slick, consistently entertaining thrill ride ...
