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 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

      Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
