If an apocalypse ever does occur, one hopes that whatever survivors are left will have better material to draw from when they make the inevitable films about it.

Variety

Its middling plot twists and atmospherics fail to ratchet up as much tension as Edo Van Breeman's score tries to evoke.

Los Angeles Times

Writer-director Christian Cantamessa and co-writer Chris Pasetto aim for a Danny Boyle-Alex Garland-style psychological thriller like 2007's "Sunshine," but they don't adequately account for all of the mood swings.

Feather light and full of unrealized promise, Air disappoints in not where it goes, but where it doesn't go.

The chemistry between the two actors never fully clicks, which is ultimately the essential ingredient for this film's success.

There should have been more attractions. The story is good but time goes by a little too fast. It's got a little bit of everything, but none of it quite. Still, it can be watched to pass the time.

This is an interesting concept for a sci fi post-apocalyptic film. It's low budget and only has a few actors, with two doing most of the work. But not a bad way to spend an hour & 1/2.

Apocalyptic, kind of a "talkie" sci-fi story that takes place in one facility revolving around trying to stay sane and alive in the new world. Reedus is per usual entertaining when he brings out the punky/gruffy in his character.

Drama in a box feels like not enough paycheck for more actors. The script has potential but the delivery wasn't...

Two caretakers of a deep sleep facility in a post-apocalyptic world where the outside air is un-breathable are faced with a challenging situation during one of their rotations. Interesting enough premise with decent psychological suspense and solid performances from the co-leads. The ending is good despite not going how you'd expect it to. Wrong person won though bad message sent.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
