"...an above-average science-fiction movie in spite of its contrived plot, stilted acting, forced allegory, and unconvincing makeup."

#17



"Saturated with imagery that fascinates, terrifies, and utterly consumes the viewer with the desire to discover the secret that's eating away at the on-screen characters."

#17



"In a time when, more often than not, sequels disappoint, it's refreshing to uncover something this high-profile that fulfils the promise of its name and adds another title to a storied legacy."

#19



"A rare film--big-budget Hollywood entertainment on a grand scale that is able to seamlessly incorporate many levels of meaning into an entertaining experience."

#19



"It has no aspirations to be more than what it is, yet another ALIEN ripoff with a half-baked premise. It just wants to be a really good ALIEN ripoff with a half-baked premise."

"Lang nos mostra um futuro triste, pessimista, no qual os homens sucumbem aos avanços da tecnologia, tornando-se meros escravos das máquinas."

#21



"The film is a huge, rousing finale that resolves all plot twists, settles all accounts, reunites old friends and sweeps to a climax that all but blows the theater apart!"

#21



"Being sometimes grotesque but never scary, the movie gives up and decides, correctly, that it can be a very funny space comedy."

#21



"Ten minutes into this film and I wanted out too."

#24



"The biggest letdown since the Clinton presidency!"

#24



"Eyes will pop, nerves will jangle, thoughts will be provoked and other summer blockbusters will shrink in comparison. But to quote from one of the few cultural touchstones not referenced in this film: 'Houston, we've got a problem.'"
