Digital Spy
"The naturalistic performances from the three leads make the fantastic seem possible for a middle portion which could otherwise have spun out of control, and they're definitely helped by the in-your-face reality of the format."
Total Film
"It isn't wholly original but it does brim with emotion, imagination and modern implication. Take that, Bats."
Empire
"A stunning superhero/sci-fi that has appeared out of nowhere to demand your immediate attention."
