Reviews

Kryo received a mixed reception from critics and audiences alike, with some praising its intriguing premise and atmospheric tension, while others felt the execution was lacking. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 6.6/10, indicating moderate approval from viewers. Rotten Tomatoes does not have a critical consensus or rating for Kryo, reflecting its relatively low profile in mainstream media. However, genre-focused critics appreciated the film's ambitious take on cloning ethics and its suspenseful moments. Sci-fi publication SciFi Now highlighted the film's "thought-provoking themes and effective use of a confined setting" but also noted its "uneven pacing and occasional predictability." The film’s modest budget was commended for not detracting from its engaging storyline, although some reviews pointed out that character development could have been deeper. Overall, Kryo is regarded as an interesting, albeit flawed, addition to the sci-fi thriller genre.
