- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The stock characters and leaden stretches of expository dialogue are welcome evidence that there's still no computer program capable of telling a decent story."
-
"It's busy, stiff, artificial graphics are a perfect match for its busy, stiff, artificial plot."
-
"Newbie viewers will be left twiddling their thumbs while waiting for Deunen's next bout of butt-kicking action sequences."
-
"Despite swaths of verbal exposition and a tendency to overdose on robot action sequences, the film has enough originality to interest demanding fans of the genre."
-
"Even in a cartoon this technically astounding, most of the characters appear to have sprung from the DNA of Astro Boy."
-
"For all the movie's impressive figure and facial modeling, as well as the superfluid humanoid motion, any depth is purely an illusion."
