Good Show to watch with the kids. Remind me of the old Chinese super hero movies.The actor is above average for a modern Disney show. so 9.1/10 Ages: 8+ *If they can translate between reality and fantasy.* Very good show.You should watch it but it's not perfect.Every show has it's flaws.i hope it stay on for another season.

Mech X4 8 stars of 10

Mech X4 is amazing, you might say pacific rims little brother, people using giant mech's (or at least one) to fight giant monsters created by aliens while the aliens identities as aliens are not revealed until after the beginning. If i had to use one word to describe this show id say refreshing because its not made for comedy like many other Disney shows, because of this it pulled me in way more then the last 7 show premieres i saw on Disney. The only thing i would like to see is a bio-path, a person who can control living things like plants people and even the giant monsters, how many people agree with me? To end my review i will say this: this is one heck of a 8 star show
This show was bad, but a little good for its budget.
czattack18 April 2017
You see, I did not enjoy this show as much as I was hoping, as the advertising looked much better than the actual show, but let's get to the real stuff. The story line is basic, the acting isn't too bad, the CGI is also pretty bad, but, for the estimated 1,000,000$ budget, I have to give it to them, they did good for that, but, they could have done a lot better, like add a little less CGI into the monsters. Overall, It was bad.
Disney's trying something new...
gerickstad12 September 2017
I have to admit, I was skeptical when I started watching...but then the plot unfolded, and it was more than just a good guy fighting a bad guy with a giant robot. No, there were layers. Just when you think you have the villain figured out, you are suddenly questioning yourself. Also, I love the friendship dynamics. The boys start as friends, but it's clear they become family. Maybe the characters are a little cliché at first, but Disney elaborates on them as the series continues. It's clear they are not defined as the geek, or the comic relief. I do admit the cgi isn't the best, but I enjoyed the show so much I could overlook that. Overall, I think it's a hilarious, sweet show with a powerful message.
Shallow and rushed
zzz-589521 January 2024
In short this show is shallow, unrealistic and feels rushed. If you like the very classic, there's a bad guy creating huge monsters that need to be stopped by a few kids in giant robot, you might find this Okay. I watched the first three episodes because I feel every show deserves at least that, but I could bear no more. If you like the Power Rangersa monster a day style you'll probably like this, but if your like me and actually want a show with some character development and real plot then it's not for you. (I have to add the 2017 Power Rangers movie was an exception to the rule and had actually plot and wonderful character development).
(SPOILERS) Really Good Show.

Finally Disney,a realistic,non-sitcom,FUNNY! Show. This show is about a teenager who has the power to control technology.He Fights a dinosaur,and a giant octopus.Secretly controlled by the PRINCIPAL! *Dramatic Music Plays* And at one point it seems like one of the characters dies,but of course he's alive. Also whenever the robot gets hit,the main character gets just as hurt and it shows close of up of a huge mark *Not bloody.* The actor is above average for a modern Disney show. so 9.1/10 Ages: 8+ *If they can translate between reality and fantasy.* Very good show.You should watch it but it's not perfect.Every show has it's flaws.
Pacific Rim and Power Rangers had a kid
kermitkid10 June 2020
Ohh, boy! This show is right up my alley! It's like if you took "Pacific Rim" and "Power Rangers" and mixed them together. It has action, fun characters, and some pretty good humor.
Ryan is a teenager who discovers he has the power to control technology around him, and that these people are called Technopaths. He finds out someone knows about his ability, and built a giant robot suit that only he can pilot. He's told that he, his 2 friends, and his brother, need to work together in the suit to fight the monsters that are being created and attacking the city. Ok, so the CGI in this show for the monsters isn't the best, but hey, it's a TV budget, I'm willing to be forgiving. The monsters actually have some really cool designs. Each monster is a hybrid of two different animals. One's half crab and half baboon, one's half Jaguar and half Stegosaurus, One's part T-Rex, Rhino, and Scorpion, you get the idea. These monsters are really cool, and some are actually pretty terrifying. There's also a lot of wit from the main characters, especially the character of Harper. He's basically this universe's Tony Stark, complete with the same personality. The action is pretty fun to watch, reminiscent of shows like Power Rangers, and there's actually some really good and surprising twists in some of the episodes. This show is obviously a niche, and it's not going to be for everyone, but if you love Pacific Rim or Power Rangers, than check out MECH X4.

Very well written
jrjam200231 May 2020
Ok. I first thought another Gundam/Power Ranger wanna be series, but this show was very well done. It had action that wasn't overly violent. It touched on a few small but very real issues (family and identity). The cast didn't ham up the acting ether. I hope to see more.
The best show ever is mech x4

GOOD 😍😍

Great show with engaging plot
dracophileupdate6 August 2020
The thing that stands out the most from this show is that lots of episodes are better in hindsight. A plot twist may seem predictable when it's first revealed, until the writers throw in another twist making the previous, "predictable" twist much more clever. I won't go into specifics to avoid spoilers, but the villain side of things always keeps getting better.
Characters: Every character has good characterization and decent acting. I just wished Spyder got more screen time as he is by far the least developed hero.
Action: The fight scenes are well made, besides the cgi. The monster designs make up for it though, being both awesome and bizarre, such as a squid-snake.
Overall: the cgi knocks a point down, but the plot and characters are brilliant.

1960s TV Series
dncorp12 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Reminds me of the Old Japanese Mech TV Series of the 1960s, that was in Japanese, with English Subtitles that did not really match what was being said in Japanese, the lips never matched what was being said either like there was a lag. Used to practically run home from School just to watch the Cartoons, MECH, and Children's Programs that started after the "Soap Operas".
Those were fun to watch. Back then children also knew how to separate Fantasy (seen on TV) versus the Harsh Reality of the News (Race Riots, Beginnings of the Save the Democracy of South Vietnam Vietnam War, Racism that existed all over the U.S., Violence of the Students for a Democratic Society's Weather Underground bombings, Communist Party Student Movements, the routine yearly Forest Fires and Hurricanes).
I realize just how "innocent" I was back then, after over 5 Decades, and how simple life was for everybody (Adults, Teens, Children) compared to Now (2017). I used to buy the Japanese Plastic Model Kits and very carefully actually read the instructions, clean parts, sandpaper the molding marks and glue seams and mix paints, paint with an air brush to build the MECHs. Even making the small human figures look real (from a distance), even painting in eyes using a 10x magnifying glass. While some of my Friends used to just glue everything together. I still have a couple of those MECHs I built so many Decades ago.
To this day I still wonder why we don't have these for Real for the U.S. Military, back then I got interested in the Advanced Research Projects Agency (A.R.P.A.) later renamed Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (D.A.R.P.A.) because of all the cool things they were creating like "Exo Skeletons", "Human Amplification Systems", "Augmented Human Programs".
