Leave your thoughts about Occupation.
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesIf you're a sci-fi action fan, this should definitely make your 2018 viewing list. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThe movie’s derivative but lively and has a surprising scope. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweGood-naturedly gruff, unabashedly resourceful and proudly Australian, Occupation gets the job done with a minimum of fuss and an abundance of explosive set pieces that will likely endear it to domestic fans, even if it’s mostly forgettable otherwise. |
| Adelaide ReviewDavid 'Mad Dog' BradleyPerhaps a bit long and drawn-out at almost two hours, there's nevertheless much here to enjoy, from the amiable playing to the scary extraterrestrials (bug-eyed, bad-tempered nasties) to a line in tensely funny humour. |
| StarburstJames PerkinsThe major downside of Occupation is that it felt painfully elongated in its storytelling. |
| Backseat MafiaRob AldamA sprawling and ambitious sci-fi invasion film. |
| Matt's Movie ReviewsMatthew PejkovicAmbitious in its goals yet lacking in its execution, Occupation is never the less a commendable effort that would have benefited from a "less is more" approach. |
| Village VoiceRob StaegerThe cast, led by Dan Ewing, Temuera Morrison, and Stephany Jacobsen, delivers sturdy character work, and the action is clear and well-executed, but none of it ventures beyond well-trod ground. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonThis regurgitation of science-fiction clichés features one-dimensional characters and unconvincing, if somewhat charming, special effects. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldSandra HallWhen straining for significance, slow motion is his answer every time and the lameness of his ending is infused with a risible shot of sentimentality. |
