Jake Nevins from The Guardian gave the film only one out of five stars, criticizing its script and Worthington's performance and writing: "A more interesting film might focus on how one actually goes about colonizing a moon, instead of ducking its premise for more hackneyed government corruption fodder. A more interesting film might also not star Sam Worthington, who was on the money when he offered this assessment of his performance in Clash of the Titans: “I think I can act (expletive deleted) better, to be honest.” I hope he’s right, but in view of The Titan, I’m hedging my bets."[9]
