Casey's Movie Mania

Casey Chong

Despite having Tim Burton on board, he seems to be more of a director-for-hire almost devoid of his distinctive filmmaking style.

My Homo sapiens brain was boggled by the movie's clumsiness, while my heart was chilled by the chance that otherwise mature members of my species might mistake this disjointed botch for summer entertainment.

Wahlberg can’t obscure his incredulity at the words he’s made to speak or the sheer silliness of the whole thing. Without latex and a full-bodied shag there’s no hiding from this film.

The Hollywood Reporter

Kirk Honeycutt

While it's fun to revisit this nearly forgotten planet in the company of a master of movie magic, one gets the feeling that Burton never found a way to embrace this place and make it his own.

Largely listless and witless, this extensive reworking of the 1968 sci-fi favorite simply isn’t very exciting or imaginative; most surprisingly, given the material, it’s also Burton’s most conventional and literal-minded film.
