The Mitchells vs. the Machines (2021)

Decent watch, probably won't watch again, but can recommend.

Expecting this to be a Dreamworks picture, I was surprised to see Sony heading this one up.

Watching this robo-apocalypse story, it feels like just a weird amalgamation of other movies that happen to be cg animated, involve robots, dysfunctional families, and corporate hostilities.

While all these are great elements, their combination, with the movie's special flare just falls short for me.

While my disbelief is fully suspended, it just broke off after a bit with some of the goofy stuff the humans end up doing contrasted with some of the amazing things the robots are doing that actually makes some sense.

The movie looks great, and is technically great, but the characters and story just fall just short for me.
