Joshua Tyler Giant Freakin Robot Long Distance takes all the hysterical, delusional narcissism of the past five years and distills it down to two characters trapped on an alien planet. Rated: 1/5 Sep 8, 2025 Full Review John Stark Mac the Movie Guy One has to wonder what it did to deserve the treatment it got. When a title gets abandoned like this, it ends up treating the concept of accessibility as a distant memory. Rated: 30/100 Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Matt Patches Polygon Long Distance has brains, brawn, and a sappy sentimental side. Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com There’s warmth to be found for those who crave it, but what Cohen really has in the material is a short story, and that’s not enough to truly command attention in this misfire.

Christina L This movie is really bad! Much of it takes place in the dark so it is hard to see what is going on! The dialog is so ridiculous and boring that I was tempted to turn it off several times! The storyline is stretched out in far-fetched scenarios! And how does a man with low oxygen able to keep screaming, yelling and running and he still has oxygen to make it to his destination??? Sorry but this actor is bad, maybe it is just this role! They kept this movie on the shelf for five years, and maybe they should’ve left it there forever! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/25 Full Review Rob T Distant, also known as Long Distance, is a bit of an overlooked gem. A quick moving sci-fi monster flick. Doesn't try to reinvent the genre but borrows a lot from other fun flicks. Has a few good laughs thrown in. Doesn't really have that terror element that leaves you thinking they won't make it. But the creature effects are really well done. And it has a great little cast that sells the film well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Thomas L Not the best acting, and this movie borrows from everyone else, but it was passable. With Elon promising to have thousands living on Mars by 2050, there will a lot mor esci-fi to come. Does anyone remember the original Star Trek series? It is still my favorite. Just make sure everyone leans in the same direction when the ship turns, I gave it four stars just to push down on the bad reviews a bit. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/07/25 Full Review Derick V Stupid movie. Dumb things everywhere. Just dumb on so many levels. DUMB DUMB DUMB. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Ricardo d Considerando minhas aulas de química e ciências do ensino médio como poderia haver fogo num ambiente com 2% de oxigênio? O roteiro não soube aproveitar o suspense e a comédia de forma sábia. Quem num momento de tensão iria fazer piada da situação? Isso acabou tirando o foco do expectador. Elogio a atuação do ator principal que levou o filme nas costas com muitas cenas feitas com fundo verde e sozinho. E os efeitos visuais são bem interessantes, assim como a fotografia. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review Audience Member I'm sorry but honestly, this movie did not hit the spot for me or anyone in my family. Anthony Ramos acting is subpar at best and putting him in roles like this definitely doesn't help his career. If I had a choice to watch this movie again or get a tooth pulled, I most likely wwould get my tooth pulled because this movie was just that bad.
