One certainly can't fault [it] for playing it safe or taking its foot off the accelerator.There's a LOT going on in this ambitious, visually impressive, sometimes entertaining but ultimately overstuffed and overlong adventure.

Rated: 2/4

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Next Gen was a great time. It does have its problems such as an inconsistent tone, a weak villain, and some ideas that aren’t fully fleshed out, but I can get over all that. It is fun, action-packed...

Rated: 6/10

Yes, it shares many similarities with The Iron Giant (also available on Netflix). No, it's not as good as that Brad Bird film. But Next Gen has its charms.

I love how this movie shows what it’s like to lose someone important to you and how people can you for that because they don’t understand you or what you’re feeling.
