Critics Consensus

Beautiful scenery and a solid star turn from Anthony Mackie raise Elevation up to an extent, but this sci-fi thriller is too derivative to reach the peak of its potential.

Prospective future instalments might want to aim higher than mere competency.

Rated: 3/5

Everyone is solid in this and you see a lot of lovely aerial shots of the Rocky Mountains.

AV Club

It’s odd and impersonal, and produces a film that feels just as detached from its visual style as it does from its characters.

Rated: D

Starburst

The set pieces involving a ski lift, a mining complex, and an abandoned city block are well-shot and accompanied by a punchy musical score.

Rated: 3/5

No one's going to fear the reapers in Elevation, a dumb, grossly derivative blast of lazy sci-fi schlock barely managing to reconfigure borrowed story elements enough to avoid blatant creative appropriation.

Rated: 1/5

For a movie that plays out in such a lovely rugged landscape, everything else about it is flatter than a tortilla under tank treads.

Loved this movie! Beautiful photography, great action, excellent drama, my only complaint is it is too short and seems to be missing some story lines I would have liked to see and it would have been great know more about the who, what , and why of the monsters arrival.

Great addition to the post-apocalyptic genre of fantasy. Has you on the edge of your seat on every turn - the visuals of the Rockies are a fresh addition, feels like something I haven't seen before. Waiting for Elevation 2!
