Reviews

Upon its release, ExTerminators garnered a mixed reception from critics and viewers alike. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 5.2/10, reflecting its division among audiences. "The film possesses a quirky charm," stated one review from MovieWeb, highlighting the entertaining performances, particularly by Heather Graham, who was praised for her comedic timing and engaging presence. However, other critics felt that the plot ultimately falters, with the San Francisco Chronicle noting, "While the premise is promising, it often devolves into a series of predictable gags and lacks depth. The characters, while likable, don't receive the development they deserve." On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a low aggregate score, indicating a disconnect between the film's intentions and execution. The collection of reviews suggests that while there are moments of genuine fun and empowerment, these flashes are often buried under the film's uneven pace and lack of cohesive storytelling, leaving many viewers wanting more.
