"Yes, Karen Gillan kicks ass in the lead role, but that's about all that works. She oddly towers over her male co-stars who feel miscast in their tough guy roles." - Brian Edelstein, Time Out
"You can only polish a cheesy video game storyline so much. The time travel elements made things a bit more complex than in the previous film, but it can only help things to a certain extent." - Geoff Bray, Slant Magazine
"It's about on-par with the first film, which I thought was a solid genre entry. With Frank Darabont taking over as director though the film takes on more of a horror slant, which helps it feel different than its predecessor." - Paul Ontkean, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
