From the people who brought us Spiderverse, The Mitchells vs. The Machines has a similar vibe while enabling a more free-form approach to multi-media animation that fits both the comedy and the central character, a girl who makes movies with her phone. So there's an objective reality, there's a phone filter reality, and there's the world of the imagination represented by drawn elements, oh and maybe a bit of anime/Samurai Jack type action too. At times, there's so much on the screen, you know you'll want to watch it again at some point. While on a family road trip, the Mitchells, identifying as "weirdos" become the only people on Earth able to resist the machine apocalypse precipitated by what can only be described as a new iPhone release. It's Terminator, but informed by current tech culture (and do I love Olivia Coleman as this world's Siri? Of course I do!). There's a nice statement about the value of family, and that of letting your freak flag fly, but a lot of belly laughs as well. The dog (and the movies he stars in) is a definite highlight, and the robots are great too. If I can't give it the full 5 stars, it's that 1) the little boy's voice sounds like an adult's doing a voice, and 2) Sony putting out a "tech companies are dangerous" message is disingenuous.buc86
A bit more of a kid's movie than Lord and Miller have given us in the past.Perfectly enjoyable family action adventure with an okay number of laughs. But nothing groundbreaking like the Lego movies or Spider-verse.

Very fun family movie!Advent
I believe in Katie Mitchell supremacy!soraxtm
Boy these corporations want to be your friend so much.The faux irreverence. Ugh. See, they don't make Bugs Bunny cartoons anymore for a reason. This is like Tiny Toons just a sad echo of some dead spirit. This is a film for people without imagination who never learned how to read and therefore cannot conceive of any undirected, unmediated self.

One of the stupidest movies I've ever seen! The characters seemed soooo forced and kind of like ripped from an 80s sitcom with all the heavy moral preaching about family values.Jokes inserted everywhere despite often being totally inappropriate (like characters making jokes while he/she and the rest of the family is dodging imminent death).
One character suddenly gets superpowers because ... she gets angry? Robots explode in seconds because of a weird-looking dog ... The whole family just happens to have big, chunky screwdrivers in their pockets during the car trip because ... opportunity for jokes. Of course.
The villain builds huge, complicated structures all over the world in hours and the super-clever A.I. considers shooting people into space to die in high-tech rockets as a better plan than just killing them immediatly.
Yeah, it's just a cartoon, but I've seen a ton of cartons. I usually love them but THIS is just plain stupid. Perhaps very young children can get some enjoyment out of all the razzle-dazzle, and some adults will be impressed by the admittedly great animation.
But I hated this movie.

Cool movieMatrack
nothing special...boulderman
Didn't lol at Mitchells (nearly did twice), Julia did a few times (only). Good enough, not great
