Clockstoppers movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Loren King, Boston Globe: The film doesn't have enough innovation or pizazz to attract teenagers, and it lacks the novel charm that made Spy Kids a surprising winner with both adults and younger audiences. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Time stands still in more ways that one in Clockstoppers, a sci-fi thriller as lazy as it is interminable. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: I thought my own watch had stopped keeping time as I slogged my way through Clockstoppers. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: Read more
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: Sci-fi hijinks and a government conspiracy serve merely as window dressing for a ham-fisted message about the importance of good parenting and owning a car in high school. Read more
Dave Kehr, New York Times: A competent, unpretentious entertainment destined to fill the after-school slot at shopping mall theaters across the country. Read more
Eli Sanders, Seattle Times: When 'science fiction' takes advantage of the fact that its intended audience hasn't yet had much science, it does a disservice to the audience and to the genre. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Clockstoppers has nothing to offer but its one meager technological trick, and before you know it, the trick disappears. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: There's a scientific law to be discerned here that producers would be well to heed: Mediocre movies start to drag as soon as the action speeds up; when the explosions start, they fall to pieces. Read more
Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News: This is escapist, science-fiction fun, with a little relativity theory thrown in. And it should work just fine for the pre-teen crowd. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: This is a prime example of a movie that is convinced that a little action, a pair of good-looking protagonists, and an intriguing concept will result in a box office success. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The movie has been produced by Nickelodeon, and will no doubt satisfy its intended audience enormously ... Unlike Spy Kids or Big Fat Liar, it offers few consolations for parents and older brothers and sisters. Read more
Damien Cave, Salon.com: Impressive sci-fi effects and cute actors can't save a trite, safe teen flick that should please Joe Lieberman. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: An intermittently pleasing but mostly routine effort. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Read more
Daphne Gordon, Toronto Star: If the director had committed to one genre rather than dropping in on many, he might have been able to pull it off. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: If I were 13, I might be sufficiently entranced by the movie's bicycle stunts ... and wouldn't be wondering why ideas for science fiction films haven't progressed very far from Star Trek's first seasons all those decades ago. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: A benign but forgettable sci-fi diversion. Read more
