Critics Consensus

Smart, fun, and tightly assembled, Soundwave offers a welcome reminder that engaging sci-fi stories can be told without relying on blockbuster special effects.

Soundwave gets so caught up in Ben's evasion of Frank that it sacrifices the promise of its interesting sci-fi ideas and its throwback sensibility, instead devolving into a generic thriller.

3/5

Smart, slick-looking, idea-driven sci-fi chase film about a boy genius trying to keep his good invention out of bad hands.

4/5

Imagination most matured, this is. Resourceful, punch-packing, and straight-up fun.

Soundwave isn't looking to reflect on the implications of Hunter's invention, but rather with creating an effective thriller. [Full Review in Spanish]

2.5/5

This enjoyable if rather lightweight outing will appeal to younger teenagers and pass the time well enough for older viewers, but one is left hoping that its big idea will be picked up and given the more substantial treatment that it deserves.

It is on the whole engaging although the script, especially the emotionally charged sections, is not as focused as it needs to be leading to the film feeling longer than it actually is.
