"Strong performances, strikingly spare production design and somber cinematography convey a sense of something important going on. That's no small achievement in what proves to be a creature feature with flair."--The Wall Street Journal"Abramenko maintains the film's finite appeal throughout, mostly thanks to a familiar aura and a charismatic lead performance by Oksana Akinshina, a fine surrogate for the tough-as-nails heroine Ellen Ripley."--Variety"The clever and nicely gory 'Sputnik' comes from Russia with love, slime, and an impressive lesson in efficient, low-cost pulp filmmaking."--Chicago Tribune"While 'Sputnik' doesn't make its substantial borrowings from other sci-fi pictures entirely new, it does juice them up enough to yield a genuinely scary and satisfying experience."--A.O. Scott
