Village Voice
pressA campy, juiced-up ker-splat, busy with clumsy pyrotechnics and never nearing the vicinity of satire.
The New York Times
pressThe movie can be both a gas and distant, a toy sealed in its unbreakable box.
The Guardian
pressA clumsy tea-party of over-acting and sub-Erich Von Daniken plot-lines.
Roger Ebert
pressTen years from now, it will be the 1968 version that people are still renting.
Empire Magazine
