It’s perfunctory filmmaking at its most boring with everyone in front of and behind the camera wanting to just get this over with.

It's an odd, absurd, tacky space adventure that'll have you rooting for mass extinction.

In more capable hands, 65 may have had a shot at being better, funnier. Unfortunately, what’s left feels like a B-movie space-age disaster.

Not enough character building, not enough action, but just enough not to consider it a waste of your time.

I can enjoy dad movies. It’s why I keep falling for Liam Neeson or Gerard Butler movies even though I really should have learned my lesson the last 65 times. But even a dad movie – scratch that, any movie – has to have a cohesive flow.

Writers and directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods put a lot on the film’s shoulders. They got butts in the theater with the sci fi action premise, but the heart of the film is a thin, trite indie drama about grief and finding a reason to continue to live.

It was the worst of times, it was the end of times. For the characters anyway. Not as bad I had heard, 65 is improved by the performances and also the constant pummelling that pre-historic Earth doles out to poor old Mills.

...a pared-down premise that’s employed to mostly compelling (and periodically spellbinding) effect...

Watches so much like an adaptation of a classic pulp dime novel...

65 may not be as refined or ravishing as the other survival thrillers or sci-fi adventures, but if you’re tired of mush and masculinity, this may be a slightly different experience.

Silly but too serious, kinda exciting and pretty familiar.

Wasted potential with an excellent lead, dinosaur mayhem & nice sci-fi gadgets.

The limited cast of two major players and a script that allows for little flexibility leaves the production as just being bland.

65 is as unimaginative and predictable as anticipated, only even less entertaining and far more bland. Adam Driver and Ariana Greenblatt try their best. A dinosaur flick this uninteresting should be considered a cinephilic crime.

65 should only be recommended after one has run out of films to watch, which might not be for many years.

A passable sci-fi survival adventure pushes a thin premise to a mercifully short end.

Driver is always very good no matter what role he takes on, whether it is a spaceship pilot battling dinosaurs or Darth Vader's grandson battling the force and the inner conflict that wages war inside him.

The whole desperate dad thing gets wearisome as if the movie were conscientiously telling lonely 9-year-olds how much their absent work-junkie fathers actually love them. Which it is. Driver’s big salary-earning business trip isn’t happening “to you."

Driver makes it all stick. It’s his first lead role in the action hero genre, and he adds depth and nuance to a thinly written role. We don’t know much about Mills, but the actor keeps us plugged in due to his ability to elevate material.
