Reception A contemporary Variety review described the film as "a bizarre, incoherent sci-fi yarn", pointing out that "what remains unclear is what audience it could be destined for. At first glance a film for kids", it "has many scenes of ugly violence seemingly geared to adult viewers".Yung. (5 November 1990). "Fuga dal paradiso". Variety Film Reviews, Vol. 21. Bowker. p. 646. Corriere della Sera's film critic Maurizio Porro noted that despite "a few seductive images" the film was "an expensive confusion".
