Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: "I Origins" slows down the longer it goes on, and the last half hour drifts into vagueness. The climax is dramatically inert and depends on the soundtrack to convince us that it's actually happening.
Rotten: Makes a too obvious attempt to repeat [Cahill's] previous effort, wanting to be spooky and ending up soggy.
Fresh: This is a beautifully crafted story that takes us on quite the journey of exploration and discovery.
Fresh: With a slew of seemingly random clues unraveling in the pursuit of scientific mystery, Origins becomes gut-punching marvel.
