- 40New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThe 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.
- 40The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe 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.
- 38Slant MagazineSlant MagazineIt may suggest an Alien incarnate, but once you get past its exterior, it's as empty as outer space.
- 30Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleLos Angeles TimesRobert AbeleStranded stops at being merely seriously dull and trite, rather than tipping into train-wreck silliness.
- 30The DissolveMike D'AngeloThe DissolveMike D'AngeloStranded isn’t a for-the-ages howler—just a terminally stupid, monotonously unimaginative rehash of umpteen space-horror classics.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeA 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.
- 25The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyThe A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyStranded is unmistakably bad, but somewhat enjoyable, especially for viewers who have a soft spot for the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" favorite "Space Mutiny."
- 25New York PostFarran Smith NehmeNew York PostFarran Smith NehmeIt’s a scrappy, unpretentious movie, with nicely calibrated pacing, but there’s no logic, little motivation and above all, no personalities.
- 20Village VoiceErnest HardyVillage VoiceErnest HardyTrite dialogue, stock characters, and bad-to-middling special effects make Stranded more tedious than scary or nerve-wracking.
