A genial sci-fi action comedy that offers plenty of fun for fanboy types.
Dennis Harvey, Variety
Rotten
It is the most obnoxiously unfunny comedy in many a moon, featuring four alleged protagonists so thoroughly repellant, the audience will find themselves quickly rooting against the survival of humanity.
Matt Fagerholm, RogerEbert.com
Rotten
The comedy is sophomoric and sort-of spoofy; satire happens here and there.
Brad Wheeler, Globe and Mail
Rotten
It's all been seen before. And given that the ending leaves the door wide open for a sequel, it may be seen again. But it shouldn't.
Soren Anderson, Seattle Times
