Cynthia Vinney CBR 06/08/2020
Soundwave gets so caught up in Ben's evasion of Frank that it sacrifices the promise of its interesting sci-fi ideas and its throwback sensibility, instead devolving into a generic thriller. Go to Full Review

Smart, slick-looking, idea-driven sci-fi chase film about a boy genius trying to keep his good invention out of bad hands. Go to Full Review

4/5
Imagination most matured, this is. Resourceful, punch-packing, and straight-up fun. Go to Full Review
Rafael Paz Butaca Ancha 05/22/2020
Soundwave isn't looking to reflect on the implications of Hunter's invention, but rather with creating an effective thriller. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

2.5/5
This enjoyable if rather lightweight outing will appeal to younger teenagers and pass the time well enough for older viewers, but one is left hoping that its big idea will be picked up and given the more substantial treatment that it deserves. Go to Full Review
Rosalynn Try-Hane Liquid Marmalade 05/19/2020
It is on the whole engaging although the script, especially the emotionally charged sections, is not as focused as it needs to be leading to the film feeling longer than it actually is. Go to Full Review
