Critic Reviews

  • Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

    Director Chris Wedge falls into the common animator's trap of making the "human" characters a lot duller than the nonhuman creepy-crawlies.

  • Zachary Wigon, Village Voice

    With its array of goofy sidekicks (Aziz Ansari as a slug almost runs away with the whole picture) and carefully crafted relationships, Epic certainly manages to tell a compelling tale.

    Anyone over the age of 7 or so - not to mention their accompanying adults - isn't going to find too much here to truly engage them, let alone linger past the final fade out.

  • Dave McGinn, Globe and Mail

    Children may enjoy it, but even they will be able to see all the boxes it systematically ticks.
