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.

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

There are exactly enough thrills to fill a 90-minute movie, including the closing credits. No more and no less. So thank god Elevation is short or it probably would have stunk.

This is, though, an efficient, no-nonsense monster romp that – while it’s pretty derivative plot-wise – is eminently watchable.

Rated: 3/5

Hernán Ferreirós

La Nación (Argentina)

…The poor quality of the special effects, the inability to record the narrative … and, above all, its fixation on exclusively using recycled ideas means that neither the action nor the suspense of the film are very effective. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 2/5

MaitlandOnMovies (Substack)

The plot is solid and character-driven, the actors are both talented and giving it their all, and for a lower-budget movie it delivers on both the monsters and the effects. I can’t get away from its conventionality, though, from its competent ordinariness

Rated: 2.5

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!
