Reaction: While the foreign box office, and in-turn the profits, are much lower than the first Mass Effect film, Cerberus still performed very well - well enough to continue exploring the other side stories in the Mass Effect Universe.
"The film's story may lack the draw of the storylines and characters of the main Mass Effect film, it still manages to tell an interesting sci-fi story with its charismatic lead actors." - Roger Taggart, Chicago Tribune
"I honestly had no idea how expansive the world of Mass Effect was going into this film. I was pleasantly surprised that the film never feels forced and these characters deserve a film - even if they weren't attached to the Mass Effect brand." - Ben Bernard, New York Times
"Did this story need to be told? It felt like a whole film of exposition for the main series, which is a shame since there was definitely an interesting film to be made with these actors." - Charles Yost, Oregonian
