Reviews
Critically, Anomaly received mixed to moderately positive reviews. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 6.7/10 based on audience feedback, reflecting a generally favorable but divided reception. Some critics appreciated the film's ambition and performances, particularly Christian Cooke's portrayal of a man caught between two worlds. One review from MovieWeb highlighted its "engaging storyline that balances sci-fi thrills with human drama." However, some reviewers on platforms like Rotten Tomatoes noted that with a relatively low profile and limited release, it didn't fully capitalize on its intriguing premise, with critiques pointing to pacing issues and a somewhat predictable plot trajectory. Despite that, the film was praised for its atmospheric tension and solid production values for an indie sci-fi project. Overall, Anomaly appeals most to fans of the genre seeking a thoughtful yet action-driven alien thriller.
