- 70New Times (L.A.)Gregory WeinkaufNew Times (L.A.)Gregory WeinkaufIt's inspiring and consistently exciting to the eye, mind and heart, as the plentiful formations -- global, but most of these English -- stimulate the imagination with their incredible beauty and complexity. Marvelous work all round.
- 63Chicago TribuneJohn PetrakisChicago TribuneJohn PetrakisLess a pure documentary than it is a fact-finding mission, with the real story waiting to be presented somewhere down the line.
- 60Film ThreatFilm ThreatThe facts and ideas presented within definitely make a strong case for something whacky going on out there that's far beyond our control.
- 50Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranLos Angeles TimesKenneth TuranTurns out to be a film that's interesting in spite of itself. It's less an impartial investigation than an advocacy film, having been hijacked by the members of the "inner sanctum."
- The film remains frustratingly focused on uncontextualized individual events rather than the phenomenon as a whole, and as such, it rapidly becomes redundant in its grainy, washed-out digital-video images of excited people poking at bent plants, or studying and manipulating computer-generated images.
- 40Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovIt's a shame that the subjects of Gazecki's film come off as so many quasi-mystical loonies.
- 20L.A. WeeklyPaul MalcolmL.A. WeeklyPaul MalcolmWhy Crop Circles now, if not to ride the hype of M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs" to some quick cash? The movie’s rambling, slapdash, repetitious nature suggests as much.
- 0San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco ChronicleGazecki's film is so journalistically flawed and needlessly melodramatic that it will be treasured only by those who share his singular vision.
