IMDb rated it about seven out of ten, Rotten Tomatoes rated it a 31 percent and Common Sense Media gave it a three out of five stars.
The film contained every genre, but was classified as fantasy and science fiction, though many critics disagree believing that it should be categorized into the romance genre. The picture was very intriguing. considering only four characters would reappear after one scene. The effects were the eye catching part of the film; they made the allusion of space and objects in space. Also, the set was a fantastic imitation to what is contemplated as the future now fro, the hibernation pods to the bars and restaurants.
