Miami Herald Howard Cohen

So impressive you welcome each and every one for the film's 48 minute duration.

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

The point is to show us what can be done with recycled traditional animation in the IMAX 3-D process, and the demonstration is impressive.

Los Angeles Times Charles Solomon

Will delight video game fans in search of over-scaled eye candy.

San Francisco Examiner Walter Addiego

Some delightful surprises, but the sort of heavy-metal, high-definition sci-fi look that dominates the proceedings, plus the relentless pace and endless morphing, are somewhat tiring.

63

Chicago Tribune Robert K. Elder

Effectively a demo. It doesn't give you the whole picture, but it lets you know what's possible. It's hard not to wish the ride could have lasted longer.

63

Philadelphia Inquirer Desmond Ryan

More about future potential than present achievement.

60

LA Weekly David Chute

Until the IMAX 3-D format is used to produce effects that are not trivial, it will never be anything more than what it is right now: a grandiose amusement park attraction.

Village Voice Nick Rutigliano

A techno-happy bumrush screaming the joy of never thinking twice about repeating things ad nauseam, and as loud as possible.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

All the segments are technically polished, but none offers much substance.

Variety Dennis Harvey

An OK mishmash.

San Francisco Chronicle Peter Stack

This novelty film is little more than a strung-together product reel of animation pieces put to the 3-D and IMAX test.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

Crippled by lame storytelling.

The New York Times Dana Stevens

Unabashed, and often quite diverting, technological overkill.
