Michael Rechtshaffen

Los Angeles Times

There's infinitely more than one anomaly to be found in "The Anomaly," a thoroughly nonsensical futuristic sci-fi thriller that makes a case for the perils of vanity projects.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

Following the Roger Corman exploitation rule book to the letter, The Anomaly wrings maximum bangs for bucks from its tight budget while unashamedly showcasing the director's buff assets.

Rated: 2/5

Guy Lodge

Variety

A smug, risible and far-from-anomalous attempt to beat Hollywood at its own game, from a talent whose commendable reach continues to exceed his grasp.

Apparently, the only thing you have to do to make your film look futuristic is slap superfluous blue lights on everything.

Rated: 3/10

Movie Talk

Noel Clarke never shuns an opportunity to show off his buff body but displays little of the intelligence or flair needed to pull off his film's mind-stretching conceits.

It's a nifty idea - especially in terms of structure - but that's about it, with Clarke's direction proving as flat as his performance.

Rated: 2/5

When it first came on I wasn't sure it was a film I wanted to see but it quickly caught my attention and held it till the very end I thought it was brilliant probably could have used a bit more detail in spots but I was not disappointed and with an ending like that I'm hungry for more will there be a part 2 I certainly hope so and would definitely pay to see it in theaters

This movie provides a new twist on time and how we experience the events. The acting and Sci-fi plot were good. While the plot takes place in the future, it was not over done. The technology is mostly subtle and furthers the plot. While not the best Sci-fi movie, anyone interested in time and deleterious uses of future technology, should watch this.

A surprise good sci-fi flick. A little confusing at times and the slow mo fight scenes seem...off, at least to me. However as a concept was very enjoyable. Ian Somerhalder did a great job, not Noel Clarke's best but decent. If you like sci-fi you will like if you want an action flick skip it as you'll just be confused.
