Cath Clarke Guardian This is a film with some flashes of visual brilliance and wonderfully silly moments... The breakneck speed of it will suit audiences with diminished dopamine responses; the rest may just get whiplash. Rated: 3/5 Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Harris Dang Their Own League If you are looking for an extremely entertaining genre mash-up that is breathlessly creative and wonderfully exhilarating, Escape from the 21st Century is your best bet. Rated: 5/5 Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Oscar Goff Boston Hassle This is high-octane sugar rush action filmmaking, and I suspect a lot of people are going to become deeply obsessed with it. Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net Supremely funny, often exciting, and unexpectedly moving, Escape From the 21st Century is a wild sci-fi ride that has to be seen to be believed. Rated: 5/5 Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Spleeny Dotson Starburst The earnestness of both the performances and Li’s exploration of lost childhood sell it far beyond mere dazzle and spectacle. Rated: 4/5 Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
