Directed by Oliver Daly, A.X.L. is about a teenage boy, named Miles, played by Alex Neustaedter. He champions as a motocross rider.

While riding his motocross bike he stumbles on a military robotic dog called A.X.L.  They meet in a junkyard where  A. X.L. is broken down and needs repairs. Miles pushes some of the robotic dog’s buttons and helps him function better. They become fast friends.

The story has evil masterminds that are experimenting with the robotic dog and the teenage boy.  Miles has a pretty girlfriend named Sara, played by Becky G.

Soon the military wants A.X.L. back. Miles notices more and more how A.X.L. is becoming more of a sentient dog and doesn’t want to be with the military as a killing machine.

Billed as a science fiction and family movie, kids might want to see the movie and overlook some of the corny stuff that goes with family movies.

“When I conceived of the story,” Daly recalls, “I https://youtu.be/UE1zB4-LUfEwas thinking about early sci-fi monster movies, like Frankenstein and The Island of Lost Souls, where a creature is created by a scientist as a power grab, or by the military as a way to control other people. Those films show us that humans are sometimes the real monsters, and the monster is just a reflection of our own fears and greed.”

The movie clips show us more of the mechanical dog and the budding relationship between all three characters.

The movie trailer tells us about the movie and the story.
