| EspinofMikel ZorrillaAn interesting sci-fi movie that does a great job with the approach proposed by Crichton and has Yul Brynner as a memorable villain. [Full review in Spanish] |
| EmpireGavin BainbridgeThe sight of Brynner walking indestructibly toward the camera, all in black, his eyes cold and unerring like a couple of silver bullets, is as haunting as any screen bogeyman. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyCrichton the director seems to have had more fun with the film than Crichton the writer, whose screenplay can offer us no better explanation for the sudden, bloody robot rebellion than an epidemic of "central mechanism psychosis." |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonThe central conceit is so flimsy that it's only possible to take it seriously at all by treating it as a metaphor. Which, fortunately, can be done pretty easily, |
| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldClassic Man versus Machine adventure is funny but violent. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsLess spectacular but more cogent than later 'virtual reality' fantasies such as Total Recall and The Truman Show. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumJoBloGreat robotic performance by Yul Brenner. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenThere is some satire here - the devouring tourist becoming prey - but Crichton just lets the joke sit there, heavy on the screen. |
| User ReviewBruce BThis is one hell of a good movie , Yul Brenner is unrelenting! A precurser to The Terminator? |
| User ReviewOle TAmazungly entertaing sci-fi from the great film year 1973. Based upon his own great idea and manuscript, Micheal Chrichton makes us masterpiece here, even above The Andromeda Strain. |
