- The invited response says the film does not click on a second viewing despite recognizing Spielberg’s intended achievement.
- The runtime is criticized as about half an hour too long and dragging, with two-and-a-half-hour blockbusters considered less usual then.
- Cold bleached visuals and uneven early digital effects are disliked; consistently stylized older films are considered less distracting than mixed convincing and weak CGI.
