(1 - 30) of 30 OFCS Rating: 57% Rotten Page   1   "Achingly elegiac sci-fi story of love and memory lost - an Oedipal tragedy for the genetically modified age."   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel "It is about hierarchies of knowledge, the values of memory and the loss of self. "   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 78/100 "Original, intelligent, cool, aloof, and ultimately unforgettable."   Cinemania   Dan Jardine 2/4 "It's hard to root for people who defy oppressive social systems when they can't seem to make sound decisions on their own."   Kansas City Star   Dan Lybarger 3/4 "...wavers between annoying pretentiousness and sheer brilliance."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C+ "The premise was sounder than the execution."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "This Code doesn't work. Its many story and cinematography tics are repetitious, and the whole film just does not take off."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit C "Too much stoicism and not enough vulnerability -- OK for a futuristic film about a dystopian society, but not if you're supposed to feel the emotions of the main characters."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B+ "Features a vast, haunting vision of a not-so-distant future -- one so intricate that the character story it is meant to buttress plays second fiddle to its fascinating detail."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C "One of Michael Winterbottom's interesting failures--intriguing to look at but curiously hollow inside."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "Code 46 is an intriguing sci-fi work with some unsual twists that have great contemporary relevance."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat B "On one level it's a science fiction story about cloning...but on another level, it's a complex discussion of authoritarianism in a global economy."   Mixed Reviews   Gabriel Shanks 1.5/4 "Flat, boring, pointless, and nonsensical."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 1.5/5 "a noir snore with no moral desperation, no clear-cut point-of-view and a love story whose eroticism feels about as urgent as yardwork"   Los Angeles Alternative   Jay Antani 2.5/5 "Code 46 offers false and confusing answers that lead to dead ends. It doesn’t provoke thought afterwards; just gestalt."   Filmcritic.com   Jeremiah Kipp "If we’re to believe that these two people are meant to be together, oughtn’t there be some real heat when they are?"   Pajiba   Jeremy C. Fox 80/100 "Winterbottom’s sci-fi romance is in a class of its own. Robbins and Morton [are] clearly in their element here."   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi 4/4 "A 92-minute, color-coded mood enhancer boiling over with provocative ideas and unsettling imagery."   Slant Magazine   Keith Uhlich B+ "Just close enough to Blade Runner to be great, but far enough away to make its own mark."   FilmStew.com   Larry Carroll 3/5 "Winterbottom's moody meditation on love in the future imperfect -- a future that looks very like the outer edges of the present."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "Wow.... [Code 46] is, while drawing on and inspired by classic films, utterly original, in a way that is particularly thrilling for fans of true science fiction movies."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson C+ "The atmosphere of the film is rich and meaningful while the story is frustratingly simple and superficial, almost an afterthought."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow C+ "A luxurious sight to behold."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 4/5 "Code 46 é o filme que O Dogma do Amor queria ter sido."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 2.5/5 "The final third of the movie ... makes a turn into some frankly ridiculous territory."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 2.5/5 "In a word: Confusing. But this is still fascinating filmmaking. "   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B- "“Code 46 looks like a sci-fi film without trying to look like the future."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 4/5 "...the best sort of science fiction, in that it takes a stark and wondrously cynical view of one potential future, and uses that to comment on where humanity is today."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 2.5/4 "You leave the theater impressed but unmoved by Winterbottom's arresting vision of the bleak near-future."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 4/4 "Unfolds like a science-fiction novel written by Cormac McCarthy."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 30) of 30 OFCS Rating: 57% Rotten Page   1
