Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
What it lacks in sophistication (everything), it partly makes up for in sheer gall.

fresh:
It's a strong, lean piece of writing that moves quickly. Nothing is wasted, and nothing happens the way you'd expect.

fresh:
A movie that shoehorns a blunt warning into its silly but entertaining story of a young radio astronomer's one-man battle against sinister extraterrestrials.

The movie is as smart as ``Mission: Impossible'' is dumb.

This is not a dumb movie; in fact, with its heavy reliance upon real science, it's startlingly credible.
