Danger doesn't quite translate into sustained drama here, in part because the reliance on voiceover distances us from the action.

Hollywood Reporter
Essentially trite presentation of a facsimile space mission that never gets off the ground, in more ways than one.

Film Journal International
[A] misguided hybrid that makes tediously clear from the outset that [its] conceit just isn't working.

Los Angeles Times
Take "Ice Road Truckers," mix it with "The Martian" and blend in a book of verse, and you've got something that resembles "Passage to Mars," a beguiling documentary that's concerned as much with images as it is with information.

New York Times
Rating: D --
Unable to develop any of the team members as personalities or to evoke the supposed otherworldliness of its arctic setting, it becomes a testament to the fact that a sense of wonder doesn't mean jack without the talent or art needed to express it.

AV Club
It's a thrill to see so careful a re-creation - and some actual footage - of Martian geography.

Rating: 5/10 --
Jeauffre's blending of terrestrial and extraterrestrial imagery is hypnotizing and spectacular, but this story of survival feels too bloodless to appeal to the average viewer.

Product Description:
NASA helms a voyage through the Arctic's Northwest Passage in order to simulate a journey to Mars, but the expedition turns into a battle for survival in this documentary from director Jean-Christophe Jeauffre. Journal entries from the mission are narrated by Zachary Quinto (HEROES, AMERICAN HORROR STORY). Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling (45 YEARS) also lends her voice to the proceedings.
