The film received mixed reviews. Some critics mentioned that while it may offer energetic escapism for less demanding filmgoers, it is too loud, poorly written, and formulaic to justify its expense. However, it was noted to be a more entertaining film than the "Transformers" titles, with slightly more fully fleshed characters, a better plot, and a lot of naval combat strategy.
