A Selig army post drama which has strong dramatic moments and is sufficiently alive to hold the almost breathless interest of the audience. Why the picture is named the "Bad Lands" does not appear. It might be named anything else, since the snow hides the landscape and the action is largely inside the post, excepting when the sallies are made for the purpose of subduing the Indians. The action is good and lively. There are some details of uniform which do not seem quite right, yet they scarcely affect the main proposition, the action of the story itself. In the main the photography is good, though some of the painted scenery shows too plainly its artificial character. The outdoor scenes with the ground covered with snow are natural and the quality is good. - The Moving Picture World, May 15, 1909
