What to Know

Critics Consensus

Fueled by bombastic violence and impressive special effects, rooted in self-satire and deadpan humor, Dredd 3D does a remarkable job of capturing its source material's gritty spirit.

Tim Grierson Deadspin If Hollywood is going to be indicted for making mindlessly violent action films, let them at least be as good as this one. Feb 12, 2013 Full Review Calum Marsh Slant Magazine Whether by design or otherwise, Dredd seems better-suited to a 2D home video presentation than to the 3D silver screen. Rated: 3/4 Dec 30, 2012 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle I may have never seen a nonhorror film as relentlessly, brutally, and crowd-pleasingly violent as this skintight adaptation of the long-running British comic-book character. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 28, 2012 Full Review Iván Kazi EscribiendoCine It is as ponderable in its entirety as in the sum of its parts. It is, fundamentally, a beating to the senses. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 10/10 Apr 12, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review When so many action films rely on shaky camera work and a seemingly rushed assemblage of shots strung together by a wired editor, Dredd is as calculated as its hero. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 25, 2022 Full Review Travis Johnson Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) A great sci-fi action film, one that hints at a broader, weirder world while maintaining a tight focus on the matter at hand.

Andrew It was a wonderful re-release and should be seen by more people! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review christina w It was boring and a bit corny at times. Perhaps I dont have a full appreciate for this video game made movie but for it to be action sci-Fi it was not giving excitement or intrigue. Would not recommend. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Micky B One of my favorite movies of all time! DREDD is a mini masterpiece. And i saw it on the big screen in 3D too and was one of the best uses of 3D so far. Especially the slo-mo shots and the scale of Peachtrees block in 3D was huge! Made the falls look a long way down! Hopefully there will be a sequel when Karl Urban is finished making the Boys, but I doubt it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review yaar b i love this flick for serious action. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review Michael A Just an absolute chilled out violent stroll into the daily life of a Judge in Mega City One. Great sounds, visuals and acting. Wish could watch it in 3d again! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review agent t Everything I wish Judge Dredd would be & more!!! Pete Travis' vision & Karl Urban's perfect portrayal of Dredd brought 2000AD to the real world! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
