Usually Netflix is pretty hit-or-miss (mostly misses) when it comes for content made for kid, which led me to avoid this film for a while (which turned out to be a mistake). The Mitchells vs the Machines manages to serve as an incredibly great film for not only children, but also teens and parents.

It managed to include a lot of "meme" humour without being outdated. The characters were well-fleshed out and surprisingly realistic. I appreciated how none of the characters really conformed too heavily to stereotypes, as well as the Dad-Daughter relationship and how it was portrayed - as this usually isn't focused on a lot in the medium.

The animation itself looks spectacular, the voice acting was solid.

Overall this is a great watch, and has a lot of re-watch value too! I would highly recommend this.

This film is one of the most well-crafted films I have ever seen. Every single frame is so precise in the details. I really hope that other filmmakers are inspired by this type of creativity, and use this styling in their own films.

The stories themselves were weirdly unsettling, and although I wouldn't classify it as a horror, many elements seemed as though they were inspired from some nightmarish dream. Although I am sure many audiences will find that they prefer a certain "story" (or generation) above the others - as each story seems to be specifically catered to a certain demographic - each story is unique in its story telling and compelling enough to make you keep watching.

I highly recommend this film, it is a great watch and surely worth your time. It is much better than 95% of the current content on Netflix by far.
