Boston Globe | Ethan GilsdorfAdd Critic to Favorites

Please, moviegoers, time is running out for us. Our civilization (and bottom line) depend on fast-food kiddie meals stuffed with toys. In this way, we conquer the solar system.Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

The animation is nicely stylized and the color palette well-chosen, although the humans are so square-jawed, they make Dick Tracy look like Andy Gump. The voice performances are persuasive. The obvious drawback is that the film is in 3-D. If you can find a theater showing it in 2-D, seek it out.Read the full review

Director/co-writer Aristomenis Tsirbas, expanding his own short film, unveils a classically devised invasion yarn à la H.G. Wells, but with the twist that humans are the aggressors.Read the full review

The plot is an obvious parable for modern dilemmas, yet in the hands of the film's creators, and with their graceful use of 3-D, viewers feel as if they're watching how the future might actually unfold, glimpsing a conflict that's destined to take place 300 years from now.Read the full review

The movie's messages are delivered with a heavy hand, but some of the scenes are eye-popping, especially -- sorry, peace-loving Terrians -- the battle sequences.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Scott TobiasAdd Critic to Favorites

On one level, it's a down-market Star Wars-inspired shoot-'em-up for kiddies; on another, it's a radical alien invasion story where the HUMANS are the aliens.Read the full review

USA Today | Claudia PuigAdd Critic to Favorites

It's an unconventional premise: that aliens live in harmony and humans are the warmonger invaders. But it's not that simple.Read the full review

Variety | John AndersonAdd Critic to Favorites

As original and convincing a feature as the better Japanese animes of recent years --"Tekkonkinkreet" comes to mind, along with the slightly older "Metropolis."Read the full review
