Top Criticprovides adventure and excitement that children of all ages can enjoy, but it is not very perilous or violent at all

Top CriticA scifi thriller that's fun, that's cheerfully implausible, that's scary but not too scary, and it works.

Pleasant enough, but underwhelming, and curiously lacking in wonder, even in the high-flying finale.
