What the Critics say | ||
| Die Burger Laetitia Pople  Ou resep gee 'n platgevalde koek. | 5 |  |
| Cape Times John DeFore Fright flick morphs into ordinary cat and mouse game. | 5 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli This movie is thought-provoking and intelligent and those qualities, prized by early purveyors of science fiction, are most welcome in an era when space opera has come to dominate (and perhaps even define) the genre. | 15 |  |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs Not horrible but frustrating in its execution and wasted potential. | 8 |  |
