Until the diverting special effects take center stage, this story, about an alien intelligence that builds an army out of flesh and metal, pathetically exploits genre conventions without generating self-reference, camp, or thrills.
Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader
Rotten
A derivative sci-fi shocker that isn't likely to spark much interest beyond its target audience of undemanding genre fans.
Joe Leydon, Variety
Rotten
Frankly, about 20 minutes into this dud, I was rooting for the alien beasties.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Fresh
An unpretentious, amusing thrill-a-minute sci-fi horror thriller / monster movie that plugs right into fears of a Y2K crisis.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
