Tasha Robinson The Verge For a mainstream supernatural-fantasy war film, Spectral is curiously devoted to rhapsodizing about science, and considering the moral implications of scientific discovery. Dec 15, 2016 Full Review Howard Gorman NME (New Musical Express) It's a cracking sci-fi military mystery that apes from various genres whilst yet never feels overly familiar. The ensemble cast works wonders and the special effects are in the same class as most big blockbuster flicks. Jun 10, 2021 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media The battle scenes are frenzied with edge-of-your-seat excitement, and unlike so many other war-themed movies, no clear-cut direction pointing to just how this movie will end. Rated: 3/5 Oct 12, 2018 Full Review Jodi Smith Pajiba Instead of going for huge stars, awkward and unneeded backstories, and bloat, Spectral manages to pack in just what a viewer needs to enjoy the plot and journey placed before them. Oct 12, 2018 Full Review Germain Lussier io9.com "The less you know, the better." It's a common phrase used in all walks of life, and it applies perfectly to Nic Mathieu's Spectral. Mar 9, 2017 Full Review Scott Weinberg Nerdist Spectral probably won't win many awards for originality, but if you're down for a "ghosts vs. soldiers" action flick that doesn't take itself all that seriously [and] moves at a nice pace... then Spectral will probably fit the bill. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 14, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Mother E One of the first movies I wished an AI had written instead of a human. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Simon P I had high hopes for the movies, but sadly it fell short of that. When it got in to the action it was the typical over the top fire fights with bad acting from the beefed up delta force actors, the idea of this movie is good but it defiantly could have been told better. found it hard to finish, but a good watch to have in the background. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review jonas S Eu gostei, assistam, e tirem suas conclusões . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review Lastrain I the first few minutes were a bit boring, only in the first hour did I finally get a little interested in the story, and a little disappointed with the ending, even a little didn't understand Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Michael M First half is great, second half falls off a cliff of non-believability. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Herbert W Cult Classic! Watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
