Reaction: This film was simply too expensive - largely due to Pratt and Lawrence each earning $20 million for their roles - to break even. A box office gross over $250 million is usually enough to hit profits, but it just wasn't in this case. It's still a step in the right direction for writer Wesley Campbell as it becomes his second most successful film at the box office (following just Peter and the Shadow Thieves).
"Good luck following this one. You shouldn't have to watch something multiple times AND keep notes in order to understand and enjoy a story. This story probably works better as a novel, and could work as a television series where you have more time to set up and explain the story, but as a two-hour film - boy, is it frustrating." - Reggie Dunn, Sacramento Bee
"Recursion almost feels like a mashup of Christopher Nolan films like Inception and Tenet. While Recursion is not as good as either of those films, it is not without its own merits. Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence once again have good chemistry with one another, as they did in Passengers, and Fassbender makes for an entertaining villain." - Ben Fullmer, Knoxville News Sentinel
“Confusing is an understatement, the story is broken up too often, when something interesting happens to a character, it immediately changes to another. Second and perhaps third viewings are required to get a grasp on the film. The actors do what they can with the premise and when its all said and done Recursion is an entertaining film.” - Jeremy Cousins, Collider
