 Frank Scheck of "The Hollywood Reporter" wrote that the film's convoluted, self-indulgent plot makes it of interest only to science fiction die-hards.Maitland McDonagh of "Film Journal International" called it "a strong, if not genre-changing, feature debut".Andrew Pulver of "The Guardian" rated it 2/5 stars and wrote, "Despite the surface sheen, and some enterprising plot twists, it doesn't entirely convince."
