While the movie was cute & funny at time, I was terribly bored. Fell asleep at the last 10 minutes so I'll need to rewatch it.

I expected it to be a bit more better because of the reviews (96% on RT & 8.7 on IMDB), but I was let down.

Toy Story 1/2 are still my favorite Pixar movies.

6.5/10

I've got to agree. With all the glowing reviews I had seen going into this one, I was surprised at how bored I found myself in the theater. I may have enjoyed it more if I hadn't had such high expectations, but alas, I was pretty let down.

I just saw this movie and it was a top notch production, as always expected from Pixar. But, the story was a little too linear for me... Like... "Robot from abandoned Earth accidentally goes to space, returns people to Earth. The end."

I know little kids are always a consideration when making an animated film but I still wish it were just a tad smarter, tad deeper, tad less predictable, like The Incredibles, Finding Nemo or the Shrek movies.

It actually seems like the lower budget animated CGI films are the ones with better stories lately, like Bee Movie or TMNT.

I was bored but I was also tired that night. Coming into the movie, I thought it was going to be a great Pixar movie because of the ratings & hype. But it fell short..way short. Story wasn't that great or deep as the others, but it could have been a whole lot better.

Thoroughly enjoyed this movie when it came out in the theaters. Some complain about the lack of dialog, but that was one of the things I really thought made the movie interesting. CGI method acting. :~)

I'll be getting this one to add to the DVD collection soon.

8/10

Picked this up on BR last week... was going to just rent it but it was OOS everywhere... so I paid the $25 and I am glad that I did. Great movie, loved that you didnt have to be a kid to enjoy it. Just watched it with my wife and we really enjoyed the movie. 9/10 and Pixar adds to its already great catelog

Why on earth is this movie so highly rated? I sent my 5 year old sister to watch it... 10 minutes later "I'm bored of it". So I tried to watch it myself, twice and fell to sleep each time.

Nothing happends. I just can't believe how over rated it is.

I think it's geared towards young adults & adults alike. There's too many subtle jokes for any 5 year old to be amused by. This isn't Nemo or Shrek.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Windows 11 gets better widgets, new Screen Tint feature, and more in the latest build

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”

      Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
