ObserverRex ReedJul 23, 2013
Stranded is no blockbuster, but it manages to pass the time better than most of them have done in this summer of discontent. Read full review

VarietyJustin ChangJul 28, 2013
Another blandly competent, thoroughly forgettable low-budget sci-fier assembled from the stray parts of other, better movies. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerJul 25, 2013
The actors work hard to make us feel their fear of a creature that, for much of the movie, we don’t get to see. We don’t really need to see it, because we’ve seen it or something like it before. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanJul 25, 2013
The kind of middling thriller you might stop to watch if you came across it on cable, director Roger Christian’s “Alien” knockoff is presumably only in theaters because Christian Slater’s contract demanded it. Read full review

Slant MagazineDean EssnerJul 22, 2013
It may suggest an Alien incarnate, but once you get past its exterior, it's as empty as outer space. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeJul 28, 2013
A no-budget "Alien" ripoff with little reason to exist beyond the few creature-effects shots its design team now can add to its reel, Roger Christian's Stranded might leave viewers yearning for the director's "Battlefield Earth" -- a film that, terrible though it was, at least couldn't be accused of a lack of ambition.

The DissolveMike D'AngeloJul 25, 2013
Stranded isn’t a for-the-ages howler—just a terminally stupid, monotonously unimaginative rehash of umpteen space-horror classics. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleJul 25, 2013
Stranded stops at being merely seriously dull and trite, rather than tipping into train-wreck silliness. Read full review

New York PostFarran Smith NehmeJul 26, 2013
It’s a scrappy, unpretentious movie, with nicely calibrated pacing, but there’s no logic, little motivation and above all, no personalities. Read full review

The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyJul 24, 2013
Stranded is unmistakably bad, but somewhat enjoyable, especially for viewers who have a soft spot for the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" favorite "Space Mutiny." Read full review

Village VoiceErnest HardyJul 23, 2013
Trite dialogue, stock characters, and bad-to-middling special effects make Stranded more tedious than scary or nerve-wracking. Read full review
