Reader's Guide

The film received a range of critical responses. Bobby LePire of Film Threat gave it a rating of 7.5/10, praising the performances, action, and practical effects. Oscar Goff of Boston Hassle noted that while the film sometimes has too many ideas and the story could have used another draft, it captures a spirit of adventure, never wears out its welcome, and maintains a brisk pace. In contrast, Ed Fortune of Starburst rated the film 3 stars out of 10, calling it a waste of time and advising avoidance, though he praised the practical effects and described it as a solid showreel for the talent involved. The film's significance lies in its polarized reception and its demonstration of practical effects in independent science fiction.
