The Mitchells Vs the Machines (2021)

SPOILERS BELOW

I abandoned it 45 mins in. It feels like those adverts that steal internet memes ten years after everyone got sick of them, and I'm not finding it funny at all. Also lots of little gripes like pointless 'two days earlier' beginning, the kid brother with a voice actor who sounds 50, the dad isn't just a bit out of touch or whatever, he's a dick, 'dinosaurs' isn't a weird interest for a kid to be into, kids would love her home-made movies not ostracise her for them, it was unclear for a while whether Pal turned in that moment when she was rejected at the presentation or she'd been planning this for a while, and also they stole calling a robot companion PAL from hit game Time Gentlemen, Please!. I do like the shaders or whatever, though, it's a nice blend of 3D and 2D, like everything's a pastel painting or something. (Not as fond of the character design style, but at least it's slightly different from the Pixar standard.

Basically, not as good as A Goofy Movie.

Rating: Bad.
