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. Sep 24, 2015 Full Review 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 Jul 6, 2014 Full Review 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. Jul 5, 2014 Full Review Jennifer Heaton Alternative Lens Apparently, the only thing you have to do to make your film look futuristic is slap superfluous blue lights on everything. Rated: 3/10 Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Jason Best 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. Oct 28, 2014 Full Review Stephen Kelly Total Film 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 Jul 11, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A really good gripping & intriguing sci-fi action thriller, well directed by its main star Noel Clarke. good performances & well choreographed fight scenes too. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Not that bad intriguing actually! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Strange movie , very strange fight-scenes ( slow-fast-stupid ) . Just forget this one ! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
