Viewed as an endorsement of a cult, The Laws of the Universe: The Age of Elohim is more than a little creepy and didactic. Any way you view it, it’s pretty damn fascinating.

Rated: 6/10

An ambitious anime with striking visuals that tries for more complexity than simply good versus evil -- and it delivers a memorable action heroine in the process.

While some may shy away from the film's obvious messaging, The Laws of the Universe - The Age of Elohim is an entertaining, meaningful film with strong symbolism and a clear connection to Imakake's work and the writings of Ryuho Okawa and Sayaka Okawa.

Rated: 3.5/4.0

The prophet and founder of "Happy Science" must be counting on a lot of uncritical eyeballs and ears greeting his pan-theistic messaging with minds untainted by...the many movies this religious anime goulash was concocted from.

Rated: 1/4

Exhilarating, profound and rousing with just the right balance of Truth and Spectacle. It's the perfect antidote to Denis Villeneuve's overlong, dull and anti-climactic Dune.
