reception

The lexicon of international films considers Apex to be a “cheaply made, confusing science fiction film that shamelessly copies models such as Terminator .” It also judges that Apex has “poorly successful optical effects” and is “a disorderly juxtaposition of time and Levels of Reality ".

Kino.de , on the other hand, judges that Apex, due to the lack of a "huge budget" and the names of well-known actors, "doesn't exactly shine, [...] but with first-class optical effects, almost endless fire magic and a good dose of drama carried by good actors" .
