Web reviews
Astro Boy (voiced by Freddie Highmore), a young robot created by Dr. Tenma (Nicolas Cage), embarks on a dangerous odyssey, navigating unknown territory in search of purpose before returning home to save his loved ones. Metro City is desperately in need of a hero who has extraordinary superpowers like x-ray vision, remarkable speed and the ability to fly in this sci-fi anime based on Osamu Tezuka's manga.
Netflix Rating: 3.8
NYT Review
Newly revived, Astro Boy is again forced to wage battle against evil and, more troubling, endure some awfully cruel parenting. And so he zips and zags, keeping aloft in a movie that can't always do the same. Read the review
Rotten Tomatoes: Rotten 48%
Consensus: While it isn't terribly original, and it seems to have a political agenda that may rankle some viewers, Astro Boy boasts enough visual thrills to please its target demographic.
