Reception

edit

The film has a 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on five reviews.[3] Glenn Kenny of RogerEbert.com awarded the film two stars.[4]

Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review and wrote, "...Coleman’s rush to condemn corporations’ profit motive seems too simplistic and skimps on the details of social disintegration that the global agricultural crisis must necessarily provoke."[2]

Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "The last act, though, is a total whiff — too rushed, too riddled with plot holes and too incongruously hopeful to take seriously."[1]

Rich Cross of Starburst also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "But little effort is made to evoke the seriousness of humanity’s predicament, the farm skills of the drones are left sketchy, and in the end, the menace posed by the story’s villains does not make much logical sense."[5]
