[A] stylish but overplotted and ultimately illogical combination of science fiction, mystery and romance.

Desson Thomson Washington Post (Top Critic)

The fascinating and the mysterious become the silly and occasionally comical.

Jay Carr Boston Globe (Top Critic)

An overwrought but underwritten sci-fi item.

Chris Vognar Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)

Works on a more human level, although more through philosophical pondering than well-defined characters.

Thirteenth Floor tries to be complex but is merely confusing.

Desmond Ryan Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)

The roles are underwritten and, especially in D'Onofrio's case, overacted.

This is a film about deeply confused people that seems likely to put viewers in a state of deep confusion for most of its running time.

James Sanford Kalamazoo Gazette

based on the Daniel Galouye book "Simulacron 3," first published in the 1960s. ...High-tech and hippie-dippy philosophies go together about as well as chocolate ice cream and brown mustard.

The film starts strong presenting a captivating scenario, then somewhere in the second half dips into a sappy romance.

This movie is one of those good, thought-provoking, adult-oriented science fiction sleepers like "The Arrival," "Gattaca" or 'Dark City.'
