On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 96% based on 356 reviews, with an average rating of 9.00/10. The website's critical consensus states: " Gorō Miyazaki's Orbit is an eerie, tense sci-fi thriller that's masterfully animated and visually stunning." On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out based on reviews, the film has a weighted average score of 96 out of 100, based on 49 critics, indicating "universal acclaim", and making it the second-highest scoring widely released film of its year. In CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend, cinema audiences gave Orbital an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale. CinemaScore later issued an apology for the grade, saying they should have limited the poll to 3D showings instead of both 2D and 3D screenings (The Hollywood Reporter said it was "playing like an A+ film").
