I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it.

Roger Ebert

The film is a triumph of performance, art direction and mood over materials that can lend themselves so easily to self-satire.

Explorers

Roger Ebert

This movie takes a deep breath and plunges headlong into the unknown -- and belly-flops into a universe full of Jell-O. What an anticlimax.
