The Mirror
"This gloomy animated tale is stylishly made and bears the hallmarks of executive producer Tim Burton. But it lacks his usual wit and wonder, ending up as a cumbersome and trite "dangerous rise of technology" story that fails to engage."
Channel 4
"Pamela Pettler's screenplay sucks out the very soul of Acker's original creations, leaving little behind but a ghost-like shell, pretty to look at, but free from any substance."
Times Online
"The sombre visuals have a depth that isn't matched by the dreary dialogue, but Acker engineers enough action to keep teenagers interested, and there are flashes of imagination throughout."
