'A.X.L.': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five)
A sci-fi adventure kids movie about a robotic dog, that was designed to be a weapon for the U.S. military, who befriends a troubled teenager. The film was written and directed by first time feature filmmaker Oliver Daly (based on his 2015 short film), and it stars Alex Neustaedter, Becky G, Alex MacNicoll, Dominic Rains, Lou Taylor Pucci and Thomas Jane. It's received mostly negative reviews from critics, and it's also a bomb at the Box Office. I found it to be mildly amusing though, and even a little better than I was expecting it to be. I mainly wanted to see it because I'm an animal lover, and I usually enjoy any film about animals befriending non-human animals (even if they're robot animals, or robot non-human animals). I'd say this is a decent kids movie, and I probably would have liked it a lot more when I was a kid, but it's still really mediocre and forgettable.
