Movie Reviews

• lacking the flash of big-budget blockbusters or the originality of a uniquely imagined world, First Light is left trying to make the best of overly familiar sci-fi themes

  by Justin Lowe [The Hollywood Reporter ]

• Jason Stone's bland new indie

  by Joshua Speiser [Film Threat ]

• First Light doesn't invent anything new, ...it fails to achieve the emotional core of its own formula

  by Peter Debruge [Variety ]

• First Light doesn't do anything particularly unusual, but strong design, a sensitive script and good performances elevate it far above most of its peers

  by Jennie Kermode [Eye for Film (UK) ]
