Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A superior sci-fi thriller and the best doomsday drama since 28 Days Later.

rotten:
What I find particularly irksome about it is its pseudo-humanism and its calculating political correctness.

fresh:
You feel as if you're accompanying a war photographer who's lost a bet. Slogging unflinchingly through humanity's worst hours, the movie laces the narrative's forays into science-fiction grandstanding with a gut-wrenching dynamic.

fresh:
Cuaron fulfills the promise of futuristic fiction; characters do not wear strange costumes or visit the moon, and the cities are not plastic hallucinations, but look just like today, except tired and shabby.
