Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com Oh, The Humanity Bureau! Rated: 1/4 Apr 6, 2018 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety Director Rob W. King and screenwriter Dave Schultz's engaging effort has enough standard genre elements to satisfy more open-minded sci-fi fans, and its political-allegory angle is ultimately quite potent without becoming too heavy-handed. Apr 5, 2018 Full Review Pat Padua Spectrum Culture This is the fate of Nicolas Cage, doomed to wander the planet in a seemingly endless cinematic purgatory, and The Humanity Bureau is his latest descent into subgenre mediocrity. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 28, 2018 Full Review Ryan Pollard Starburst The main problem... is that The Humanity Bureau is not special enough to have long legs in the future, and arguably certain plot elements and concepts have been better executed in various other movies before it. Rated: 5/10 Jun 27, 2018 Full Review Jacob Knight Birth.Movies.Death. It's not often you see a piece of Redbox ready pulp actively attempting to double as a protest film. There's value in that, even if its packaged as dumbass schlock. Jun 20, 2018 Full Review Betty Jo Tucker ReelTalk Movie Reviews Bleak future films like this are done too much. And this is not one of Nicolas Cage's best performances. May 16, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

A Teacher W Way underrated. If you liked Equilibrium or 2012's Total Recall, you will watch this. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review Cork B I like Cage. I think he does a decent job here. But OMG the movie around him is just awfully executed.... from the poor CGI, awful dialogue, so so acting, and what appears to be some poorly constructed plot structures. The El Camino in a sci fi flick is SUPER distracting. Maybe they could have added some lines about EMPs destroying all electronic ignitions, etc. Not to mention if you have ever seen a Charlton Heston sci fi flick, you will see the ending coming a mile away. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Mario Nardi Weird! Really weird! Editing a bit rushed, not Cage's best work! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Joshua T just watch this movie on YouTube must say I'm bummed I didn't see in theaters. highly recommend if you're looking for just a fun movie once in awhile to watch or something when you're not really sure what to watch this was a good film The acting and it was great. And overall I'm glad I got to see this movie and I'm bummed I did not see it in theaters I think Nicholas Cage did an awesome job and I now have a new favorite actor to watch outside of him Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/14/23 Full Review CLOUDY_GAM3R Good and bad Idk pretty nice movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/23 Full Review Jelisije J A movie with a couple of unexpected twists that keeps this formulaic movie from being utter trash. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
