  • Maybe I'm being miserable, but Mitchells vs the Machines just didn't land for me. Maybe it's because it was released around the same time (and the art style evokes) Into the Spider-Verse, which just went so much deeper into the coming-of-age emotions of its star, but MvM never gets specific enough to tap into the emotional seam it relies on.

Synopsis

The Mitchells vs. The Machines is an animated action-comedy that sees creative outsider Katie Mitchell  as she is accepted into the film school of her dreams and is eager to leave home and find “her people.” However, when her nature-loving dad insists on having the whole family drive her to school and bond during one last family road trip, the family suddenly finds itself in the middle of the robot apocalypse. Katie and her father will need to find common ground to stand a chance against the armies of smartphones, fridges, and whatever other sentient machines are out to capture humanity.
