Recensioni di Metacritic

It is a fine, if lightweight, little slice of throwback-’80s teen movie tropes with some high-tech flair.

What's missing is any genuine personality from the robot (or the human characters, for that matter).

Sadly, Oliver Daly's kid-oriented feature only strains hopelessly for Amblin Entertainment-style magic. The result is that A.X.L. feels in desperate need of repairs.

Perhaps with a more adventurous creature design – or stakes that rose above the film’s mild ‘PG’ rating – A.X.L might have referenced better films while still finding its own voice.

It has no laughs, no thrills and little that would distract, much less entertain a child.

A-X-L may be a dog, but he’s designed to be a weapon, so he looks like nightmare fuel. And nightmare fuel usually isn’t the best centerpiece for a family-friendly flick.

Something worse than bad. It’s utterly forgettable.
