Los Angeles Times | Kevin ThomasAdd Critic to Favorites

Since the film is based on the Atari video game of the same name, it also has much to appeal to headbangers: fast pace, lots of gadgets, monsters, explosive special effects, plenty of inscrutable plot twists and turns.Read the full review

So mind-blowingly horrible that it teeters on the edge of cinematic immortality.Read the full review

The New York Times | Stephen HoldenAdd Critic to Favorites

So inept on every level, you wonder why the distributor didn't release it straight to video, or better, toss it directly into the trash.Read the full review
