Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: A tedious slog. Read more
Erik Lundegaard, Seattle Times: It's a distinct, fully realized and fascinating world; it's the story Winterbottom places in the foreground that's unfulfilling. Read more
Allison Benedikt, Chicago Tribune: It's ambitious work but ultimately cold, distant and difficult to piece together. Read more
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle: Updates a classic premise -- the struggle for personal freedom -- by pairing it with ethical and moral quandaries. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: ... feels more like an intriguing work in progress than a complete film... Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Winterbottom's movie may be cold, but it's still pretty cool. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: A love story clothed in a science-fiction plot that fails to warm us with sentiment or dazzle us with cold logic. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: With all this intelligence in front of and behind the cameras, why then does Code 46 play like a William Gibson novel with all the juicy bits removed? Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Morton and Robbins are gifted actors, but they seem straitjacketed here, and the film finds it difficult to avoid tedium as their lugubrious relationship unfolds. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: Winterbottom and screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce sell the sci-fi but botch the interpersonal. Read more
Vic Vogler, Denver Post: More a collage than a movie. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Robbins and Morton make a sexy and moving pair of desperadoes; you mourn their every loss. Read more
Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail: A vision of the future that is as haunting as it is dispiriting. Read more
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News: A curious and mostly rewarding tale of a love affair in a world of genetic policing and travel restrictions. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: If the movie is finally something of a failure as a romance, it's rarely less than a triumph of soulful imagination. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: Robbins and Morton, both fine actors, have no chemistry whatsoever. Their love story may as well have been written by Jules Verne. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: Their doomy romance is supposed to be fated, but it just seems sloggy, certainly not the stuff of myth. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: It's that rare thing, an intelligent date movie, a celluloid romance with enough substance to fill a thesis paper. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: For what is at heart a thriller, Code 46 lacks both energy and tension. Read more
Lou Lumenick, New York Post: The diminutive actress [Morton] and the much taller Robbins make the season's most improbable screen couple since Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones in The Terminal. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Michael Winterbottom's somber dystopian romance is thick with disquieting, not always coherent ideas about the effects of globalization on human intimacy. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: Amid the white walls and slick surfaces of this film, the characters seem more like lab rats than human beings. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I cannot say I understand the hows and whys of this future world, nor do I much care, since it's mostly a clever backdrop to a love affair that would easily teleport to many other genres. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The disquieting and depressing sci-fi romance Code 46 is an interesting exercise, but the same can't always be said about it as a movie. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Robbins and Morton play star-crossed lovers, and they're among the most risible pair to grace the screen in quite some time. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: It's all very ambitious -- and thought-provoking. But, at only 92 minutes, one wishes the script had been further developed and the film executed with more clarity. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: A noirish romance, bathed in new age trance music and trippy golden light, Code 46 feels like Blade Runner on meds. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: You may soon forget the specifics of the plot, but you'll always remember the world it came from. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: Commits a Code 1 violation: It's boring. Read more
