Audience Member Where to start? The acting, kids and adults alike, is woeful. The premise - using cat and dog robot advetsaries - is hopeless and the CGI looks massively dated even just 4 years on. It had promise, the idea of using a robot dog from the future to resolve an issue in a lonely boy's life, but it's handled so clumsily. It's one of those '. .. but if he can do that why can't he....' type things. And aren't we past the mad scientist mixing bubbling potions in a lab thing? Even my nine year old is more sophisticated in his expectations of evil scientist than that. Remember, it's trying to appeal to a demographic that has watched Marvel films. They should have just kept it simpler and made it a story about a boy and his top spec dog. With better actors. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member It was awful movie and had a horrible storyline. It was so generic and unrealistic. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member it look like a good moive Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a fun movie to riff on because it keeps a straight face though out the entire movie and takes itself very serious considering the plot is a ripoff of the terminator movies Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Alright, so its a kid's movie. You have to watch them every so often when there's a kid in the family. Thankfully, some of these movies are actually decent movies. Now, there are, of course, some very predictable elements to this movie: the kid is a motherless, lonely youth with a well-meaning but out-of-touch father. The kid is brilliant, yet loves his Goldberg machines too much. The villains are clearly villains and things that should never otherwise happen because plot demands it. Still, for all that, the movie is engaging and really fun to watch. Even with the clichés, I found the movie creative. And, heck, I even got teary at the end there. It's not a perfect movie, but it's fun, kids will like it, and you might, too. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Just plain bad. How low have you fallen, Ben Browder.
