Hollywood Reporter’s Kirk Honeycutt gave it a B-. He said it was, “A well-made post-apocalyptic action drama with simple themes and archetypal characters that strains a little too much at Seriousness.”

Manohla Dargis over at the New York Times gave it a B- also. She stated, “Allen and Albert Hughes have created a plausible post-apocalyptic world.” James Berardinelli from Reelviews gave it another B-. He said, “The script feels like it’s an iteration or two short of a final draft.”
