movie review - The Mitchells vs. The Machines

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Kokubunji, 2021.05.02

This is an animated flick we watched on "movie night". It features an inventive kid who struggles against a towering corporation that falls victim to its own robotic product in an AI-turns-slavemaster scenario. It's somewhat original in the way things play out and in the sorts of challenges the heroine faces and the sorts of solutions she creates.

Recommended.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
