Reaction: This adult-oriented sci-fi thriller cost a little more than we would have liked given the less than A-list stature of the cast, but we stuck by the filmmakers' vision and ultimately it resulted in a nice profitable film. We always love it when smart films do well at the box office.

"It's nice to see a science fiction film that doesn't rely on big budget special effects to keep people interested. James Morgan's script focuses on plot and the characters, and it paid off." - Dave Cone, New York Post

"Most of the cast is filled by seasoned veteran actors, long ago AARP-eligible, but there are some definite performance issues in this film. The scenes away from Roth and Gleeson struggle due to some sleepwalking performances from Mortensen and Freeman, and don't even get me started on Winona Ryder's overacting." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com

"Alex Garland has become the go-to-guy for smart and thoughtful science fiction films - and he continues his run with this mostly enjoyable, albeit flawed, time travel thriller." - Desmond Rogers, TIME Magazine
