- 60VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyBenefits from blend of live actors with computer-generated effects and backgrounds. Feature doesn't add up to much more than an enjoyable novelty.
- 50TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghTV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThough conceptually clever, the results look stagy and schematic and recall nothing more than a pale imitation of Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" (1985).
- 40The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe New York TimesJanet MaslinThe film's many voids are not meaningfully filled by all the monsters and assembly-line workers that crop up.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckRepellant to look at and fairly inscrutable, the film does at least offer vivid if at times overly broad performances from the three leads.
- 30Village VoiceVillage VoiceOn a spare stage set, Dresser's clever script is allowed breadth for contemplation; here it's sodden with animated sludge. Watch it with your eyes closed.
