The Mitchells vs. The Machines

POSITIVES…

  • As a family road trip movie, mixed with the robot apocalypse, this is an incredible must-watch animated film. 

  • Kinetic visual style and in your face ADHD effects are just awesome! 

  • The comedy. The wacky humor. The pop culture references.  The irreverence. The running jokes. The fun montages. The cutaways. Good good good good good stuff. 

  • The Mitchells are an excellent set of outstanding weird characters, played by an excellent voice cast. Their chemistry truly shines. 

  • Monchi the dog is just legendary. 

  • Eric and Deborahbot are quite entertaining. 

  • Olivia Colman as Pal! 

  • Fantastic scenes and chaotic moments throughout. From the family meal, Pal Max reveal, DinoStop & Cafe, and many many many more. 

  • Thematically has some great things to say about family and technology and filmmaking too. 

  • "I guess cellphones are bad for you." 

  • "Why would someone build that?!" 

  • Dog Cop! I want to see more Dog Cop!

NEGATIVES…

  • Some familiar and expected plot tropes and coincidences. 

  • It can really be ridiculously unbelievable at times.
