Clark has created an apocalypse that is as clunky as it is hopeful. The Becomers is a misshapen, disgusting, genre-morphing gem.

[A]n arresting movie, and a great example of how to do a lot with a little.

Rated: 3/4

Variety

A sort of shaggy dog story whose appeal wanes as one gradually realizes it’s unlikely to go anywhere in particular, The Becomers is equally mild as sci-fi, spoof and sociopolitical satire.

The biggest surprise of The Becomers ... is that it’s oddly sweet, and genuinely sells the idea that these two crazy (alien) kids belong together.

Hammer to Nail

Despite the bleak themes, the overall tone is one of optimism. It’s not saccharin or overly sentimental. It simply acknowledges the fact that even in the face of extinction, love can endure.

The nature of The Becomers prevents any real character development and the clever premise never quite reaches its apex. It still makes for a gross and enjoyable watch.

This is NOT 93% on Rotten Tomatoes material. It IS entertaining and it DOES have good ideas. IF they were going for a "Made In The 80s" vibe then they have definitely succeeded. It is a very primitive and film-schooly production as far as the writing, acting, cinematography, editing, sound design, etc. That said: If you like kitschy indie productions then this IS for you. More of a 75% than a 93%, though.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The Becomers took me by surprise! I expected it to be unique, artsy, and entertaining. It was! I just didn’t expect to LOVE IT the way I did. I was thoroughly engrossed and rode the action effortlessly from start to finish. I did not think that the cult was a derailment (as described in another review). To me it spoke simply of the fact that you never know who someone is and what they are about until you can see deeper into them and their lives, which seems to be a basic truth. The score was really just spot on!!
