Reception
Variety's Robert Koehler wrote:
This half-cracked cousin of Abba may be worthy of an extended video, but at feature length, goofball exercise gets lost in the Icelandic snow. ... Nearly every scene here is punctuated by a musical number, some recalling Jacques Demy, others resembling Europeanized MTV videos, and all trying extremely hard to be funny. This effort to be humorous makes Ahead of Time play like a wildly overextended joke on the theme of the folly of old rockers trying once again to get their groove on.[2]

gollark: Apparently nobody noticed the random rule 110 implementation *either*.
gollark: Although I guess mine could and probably did as I never revealed what the obfuscated code did.
gollark: Hmm. I really wonder *what* palaiologos's code does. It could probably have uploaded secret bee neuron data to palaiologos' server and nobody would know.
gollark: Maybe someone should make a PR with hyperfast ultrayes.
