 "Buch's film, aside from the opening moments, has no charm at all, and it lacks even the vaguest flicker of drama." |

 "...impressively and aggressively filmed.... By the finish, half the audience won't quite be able to tell what is going on, and few will care." |

 "...has moments of brilliance, but it descends into tedium and vagueness after the first half-hour. Strictly for Malick completists." |

 "...ambitious and successful... captures a mood.... its meaning is elusive but poetic... the film features strong performances by Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper." |

 "...starts well, but it soon degenerates into tiresome shock gore that overstays its welcome, despite the film's modest run time." |

 "The saving grace of this futuristic tale is that it feels more like the product of director Andrew Niccol's imagination than writer Stephenie Meyer ('Twilight')." |

 "...alive only in spurts... if any feeling at all comes through it, it's one of vague sadness or ennui. It feels, looks and radiates drabness, and its tone is jarring." |

 "...a movie that, like the book, is episodic and has dips in energy but has more than its share of glory and illumination.... You get the bigness of the country and the freedom..." |

 "...holds interest but seems a little like a publicity film. Also, there's too much Arnel Pineda and too little Journey. Still, it's not bad." |

 "...would be a borderline case were it not for Jim Carrey, who is hysterically funny in the supporting role of a crazy, masochistic street magician." |

 "...it's both horrible and beautiful. It might even be original.... But having established a mood, the film just stays there, hovers there, sinks there and drowns there." |

 "...you'll find the 3-D almost as good as Ang Lee's 'Life of Pi,' with the three dimensions in service of a much better story.... It's enough to make you start liking 3-D again..." |
