What to Know

Critics Consensus

Clumsily recalling numerous superior movies about unlikely human/robot friendships, A.X.L. is an obsolete adventure made from frequently malfunctioning parts.

Scott Marks San Diego Reader After 2016's Monster Trucks laid a giant goose egg at the box office, what made the folks at Global Road think this similarly themed shaggy mechanical pal tale would fare any better? Rated: 1/5 Aug 31, 2018 Full Review Matthew Monagle Austin Chronicle Like its titular character, A.X.L is a pastiche of familiar parts constructed in a lab, a blend of science-fiction and extreme sports tropes that result in little more than an audition reel for the film's young stars. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Katie Rife AV Club It's utterly forgettable. Rated: D Aug 25, 2018 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut A-X-L had me bored almost all the way through Rated: 2/5 Aug 17, 2022 Full Review Nicolás Delgadillo Discussing Film A.X.L. feels hollow, and the robotic canine star can't sell enough emotion through its metallic shell. Rated: 2. 5 / 5 Jun 25, 2021 Full Review Francis X. Friel Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) A silly but enjoyable movie that would have felt right at home in the VHS era. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 20, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Jack H Not bad. Enough action to keep me engaged. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review Charley J this is single handedly the worst movie i’ve seen shitty plot shifty characters shitty ending ahitty movie overall how do people spend so much money on such a shitty movie take ts off the face of the planet please Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Fetti It's not the worst adventure film you'll see, but at some points - especially the final scenes - you wonder if they're really trying to seize that crown. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Fin D I mean the only good thing that came out of this movie was all the dirt bike scenes with and without A.X.L. Other than that i got bored through most of it, very dissapointing Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Jasper R I absolutely loved it!! Too bad I'm not a money tree cuz I would definitely support more of this!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review matthew d A cheap Transformers knock off. Theres interesting villains, good dirtbike sequences, and scenery. But if you were hoping for a story about a cool mechanized butt kicking robot dog in a good story with good dialogue with 2 good leading characters that builds to a great climactic ending youre BARKING up the wrong tree. Ha get it?! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
