Frank F The concept of this movie was really good. I just felt the writing of the relationships and in general was lacking. It felt like this was a sequel to something. Like we already KNEW the relationships between everyone, yet we didn't know anyone. Watching this in 2025 with AI a big thing, makes this a very interesting concept. I'd be interested to see it redone as a series maybe, that way they could build up character relationships. Don't know where/how the series would end, but for an hour and a half movie....... it's definitely sub par. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/25 Full Review Lynn D For me personally, I loved the concept a lot and the merging of sports and Transformers adjacent robot science fiction made for an interesting and compelling story, and the cgi (especially on AXL) really holds up! Then again, the acting and writing could definitely be better. So, in conclusion, it’s a great concept and worth a watch, but it’s far from perfect.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/02/25 Full Review Ryan P I can see why some critics would have issues with this movie, as when it comes to the "A boy and his...." stories, it pretty much plays it safe and and just hits the beats when it's supposed to. But, first off, watching this has made me realize how much I miss practical effects. The puppet work on AXL was good, and many reviews I read kinda gloss over that. I think, with todays technology, I would like to see this given another go just to see how well they can better blend the practical effects with modern CGI. Second, I feel this story, though standard for "A boy and his...", it did it well. I wanted to see how things turned out and it left me wanting a tv series at the very least to see what kind of shenanigans this boy and his robot dog could and would get into. If done right, I think it could have the potential to be a modern day Knightrider.... only good, unlike the actual modern day Knightrider, lol. Bottom line: I thought it was good. Not great, but good enough where I wouldn't mind having it in my collection and perhaps seeing either a reboot or a tv series based on it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Tatum W against everyones reviews even the top critics, this movie is by far one of the best movies i've watched and i hate that they left it on a cliffhanger. it 100% deserves a second movie. Ive watched it over and over since it came out, first watching it in theaters i believe. I am so upset that people believe this movie sucks because it’s depriving me of a second movie that i so desperately need. 100% recommend to watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Sarah B Some of the critics are too harsh. This was fun, cute, and update to similar movies we might have enjoyed in to the 80's, and early 90's. Sure...but it's a wonderful coming of age story, with a bit of action, a small showcase of humanity to a couple of kids who down on their luck from single parents. He discovers the dog, she finds him, and they fall for each other while the dog teaches them some valuable life lessons. We enjoyed it. But I wouldn't rush to the movie theater if it was premiered there. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
