"Francis Lawrence may have been the wrong choice to direct this interesting film. His style might be too traditional and safe, almost giving the film a television feel." - Brian Edelstein, Time Out
"The premise alone, that of a society of androids seeking to keep the human race from repopulating, makes this one worth checking out. The stellar android cast seals the deal." - Gillian Donaldson, Variety
"The cast is hit-or-miss and the direction is by the numbers. This kind of film needed a director with a unique vision to stand out among the litany of mid-budget science fiction films. With Lawrence at the helm, the film settles for good, but it could have been great." - Ben Bernard, New York Times
