It sure feels like a miscalculation for a movie about the survival of humanity to have so little humanity in it. Go to Full Review Drew Taylor TheWrap 4d
Either way, it’s hard not to be impressed by Stanton’s earnestness and ambition; even at a relatively modest scale, it’s clear you’re in the hands of a visionary. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 5d
2/4
As it is, it feels too disposable for a film that, at least on some level, is trying to be about all of human history and the future of the species. Go to Full Review Chase Hutchinson IGN Movies 1d
4/10
For a film about disaster and how we deal with it, there is something tragic about how In the Blink of an Eye becomes such a frequently disastrous disappointment of its own making. Go to Full Review Caleb Hammond The Film Stage 2d
An immensely dated, hyper-polished film that purports to be a celebration of the human spirit but in actuality leans heavily on the idea that technology will save us all. We should embrace AI—worship it, even. Go to Full Review Alex Billington FirstShowing.net 4d
7/10
It's all about if you're on the same wavelength with it or not. And even if it's not the next 2001, there's still plenty to enjoy and appreciate about it anyway. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
