How to train your robot

Rating: 7/10 (10 April 2015)

I cannot say that the movie was not nice. The animation was good and the feelings expressed in it were what kids probably need. However, the story was a melange of various concepts, just like the name of the fictional city the plot is supposed to take place in: San Fransokyo. It's How To Train Your Dragon with robots.
In this world where 14 year olds can use the resources of a single mother/aunt to build plane like flying robots, microrobots that can link with each other and perform whatever task the mind of their controller can think of, Hiro (said 14 year old) has to impress a teacher in order to get into a robotics university. Things go well until his brother dies, which pushes the little kid into a quest for justice and revenge. A lot of wondrous 3D graphics later, it all just comes into place.
I cannot imagine why this mediocre film with a predictable story and really unlikable characters has the high rating it has on IMDb. For me it wasn't a failure, but it was a severe disappointment. There was absolutely nothing in the movie that was above average.
