 Michael Rechtshaffen of the "Los Angeles Times" wrote that it starts and ends well, but the middle rehashes "Blade Runner" and "The Terminator".Abby Garnett of "The Village Voice" criticised the film's lack of social commentary in favor of a too-complicated, slow-moving plot.Andrew Marshall of "Starburst" rated it 5/10 stars and called it "little more than a sci-fi police procedural" that ignores the interesting aspects of its premise.
