Poor structuring, redundant plotting, zero fun, and ample bewilderment add up to quite the mess. Go to Full Review Jared Richards The Age (Australia) 2d
3/5
A little unwieldy? Sure. But it’s consistently gripping, with a budget to build out this multiverse properly and a remarkable performance(s) from Edgerton at its centre. Go to Full Review James Dyer Empire Magazine 5d
4/5
