Next Gen (I) (2018)
5/10
A fair effort from Netflix but could have been better
14 September 2018
Firstly the animation in pretty good, and holds its own against the big animation studios. The story is ok, not original but good enough and the voice cast are good too, no expense seems to have been spared. Just a shame that the main character of Mai is so Psychologically messed up, bitter and twisted which tended to ruin the overall story for me as it made it hard to root for someone that unlikeable, I just felt sorry for the robot that wanted to be her friend. The film felt overly long to me at over 100 mins long, I think they could have trimmed 10 to 15 mins easily and at times my mind did wander onto other things. At an estimated 150 Million Dollar budget, I am sure they could have made several better Movies for the cost of this one. I do hope it makes money for Netflix as it did have its moments but I don't think it will.
