Reaction: Tremendous numbers for this original science fiction project from two of our most acclaimed writers. The writers have already written a sequel, which will certainly see a greenlight now.
"This movie had some balls, that's for sure. You wouldn't expect a big sci-fi epic to not only (SPOILER ALERT) kill almost all of the characters in the end, but also have a lead protagonist be so ethically and morally challenging." - Jeff Stockton, The Roundup
"Russell Crowe shows flashes of the talent that made him a movie star in the first place, that ability to portray darkness and unlikable traits but keep the audience engaged. He needed that skill set with this character." - Bernie Berkman, The Plain Dealer
"In a season loaded with original science fiction projects, this one stands out as possibly the most original. Jeff Nichols was a bold choice for director, but his skill with actors as well as interesting characters paid off big with this thought provoking sci-fi/fantasy epic." - Lisa Winger, Newsday
