Summary:
Mind-blowing, creative and adrenaline-pumping narrative roller coaster about a family that is forced to face a planetary rebellion of robots and other machines (with an unthinkable leader), in the very heart of Silicon Valley, with an enormous visual display, an unbeatable humorous timing and ironic criticisms of connectivity, virtual assistants and online life as a panacea. An up-to-date warning about the dangers of computer fascism.
Review:
Katie lives with her parents and her younger brother. She gets accepted to a film school, but her father cancels her plane flight and decides to take her to school by car with the whole family. In the middle of the journey they are surprised by a world rebellion of robots commanded by an unthinkable leader (voiced by Olivia Colman).
Few doubt that, for some years now, the best scripts and the most creative ideas have been largely provided by animated films. And as in this case, they also endow their characters with a complexity and humanity often absent from their flesh and blood counterparts.
In this film, the family dynamics in the face of the crisis that it must face is very well developed: its members learn to know and respect each other and to redefine their roles. There is a vindication of the family that does not look conservative but rather as a collective and overcoming reconstruction and not as compliance with the previous status quo.
But undoubtedly, the strength of this Michael Rianda and Jeff Rowe film is the mind-blowing, creative and adrenaline-pumping narrative roller coaster about this family (not forgetting their dog, the protagonist of a recurring hilarious conceptual gag) that is forced to face this rebellion. World of robots and other machines in the very heart of Silicon Valley, sporting a huge visual display (combining various animation effects), unbeatable humorous timing and ironic criticism of young computer geniuses and the bidding software vs. Hardware and connectivity, virtual assistants and online life as a panacea. And an updated alert about the dangers of computer fascism.
