Dear movie freaks, for me AXL is not 100% Sci Fi movie because the touch of the drama is so high, then the main story of what happened to a young boy finding a super secret military weapon, apparently in the body shape of a dog, could find a way to escape from the law and highly officials. This movie has simple story, but evolved in some scenes to be more intense with young audience, especially Sci Fi lover. At least, there is several scenes that explain the Sci Fi part, but the whole idea is not science at all. It is totally drama, but AXL is everybody's movie, quite tense, and sad. The saddest part is how the new owner of this robotic dog must realize that the connection human-robot is real and how he can survive without any accusations against him.
I can honestly tell you this evening has laughs and scares and touching moments. It's a great idea in concept but severely lacking in execution and acting as well. This is coming from a person who loves Thomas Jane from the original Punisher that I enjoyed so much! Other actors including Tom Jane we're not as vibrant as they should have been during such a process or we're just not even Force but laissez-faire to the point where it made it kind of lacking that's where the idea of the story I mean essentially Homeward Bound it's an okay movie if you're taking your kids and you just doing a family day then it's perfect you'll have a whole different perspective on it but for an adult who seems tough like this before it becomes very repetitive and a district particular Point not as interesting as it should have been
I have watched this film in AMC couple of days after it got released. I don't see the review before watching this movie, so enjoyed this movie. This is pretty decent movie with what it was promised in the trailer. Mossy of the review was having negative reviews coz this movie lacks humor. Not every movie needs the humor dialogs, scenes in each frames. Making is good, camera work is pretty well. Story line is ok. It's little slow in some part of the movie which needed to be taken care. Not bad for one time watch.
If you go into this movie not expecting much, you'll probably walk out think "it wasn't bad". In fact, it's not a bad movie and decent movie for kids (over 8).. and certainly reasonable for adults to watch. The premise (without spoiling the movie) is more along the lines of the 80's film "Short Circuit". A robot built for war but with more to it than destructive programming. Effects were decent enough. Motorcycle riding/stunts were actually very cool. Looking for a decent little "Sunday afternoon movie for the family"? This would probably work.
Better than what the reviews say. But a little too predictable. Still worth a look, is entertaining

- GoofsWhen Miles first encounters the robo-dog, it uploads information to his phone. His AXL 'app' notifies him of "maintainance required" - common incorrect spelling of 'maintenance'.
