The Mitchells vs the Machines

A robot uprising of the humorous kind, The Mitchells vs the Machines came at me from behind and got its hooks in. A Netflix animated flick I had no interest in (my 11 year-old felt differently) and ended up fully in its embrace. The father-daughter storyline is handled with care even azs the Mitchell clan is hunted by robots and giant Furbys (you read that right). The animation's vivid and the characters well-drawn (no pun intended) while the sentiment is heartfelt. Lord and Miller are becoming household names they've been killing it.

My daughters and I watch a movie every Saturday night before they go to bed, and we usually just pick one and I cross my fingers that I won't be miserable for 2 hours. This movie was an absolute PLEASANT surprise. Great modern story, great adult humor, and AMAZING animation. A great family movie that will keep you laughing and entertained the entire time. I didn't watch the trailer and I didn't even know who did the voices in it. Watch this movie, with or without kids, it's a great watch.

Only thing ordinary of this movie are the generic storyline and themes. Other than that this movie is so gorgeously animated with the unique style, character design, voice acting and nice touch of comedy. From the makers of Spiderverse, this movie's bloated runtime feels like a treat. You can see the love they put into it. Watch it with your family, its totally worth it.

This animation is really good. It's fun, vibrant, lively, and it's really relevant to modern lives. I really enjoyed the references to social media addiction.

I knew nothing about this movie before watching it. You can quibble about how some of the plot elements or characters are derivative, but overall it is a good watch. Funny and visually great, with some well-designed action sequences as well.

Good for a family night viewing.
