	Media	Author	Review
		Owen Williams Empire	"Less of a riot than Wright’s previous Grabbers, Robot Overlords displays the same knowing intelligence, sense of fun and deep-rooted love for post-’70s genre film (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Mike McCahill The Guardian	"The film is never less than amiable, and rather more spirited and nonconformist than the Transformers movies (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
		Guy Lodge Empire	"The pic’s general good humor — plus the tony adult presence of Gillian Anderson and Ben Kingsley — compensates to some degree for its cheapjack construction, but not enough"
		Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"Surprises are few and far between, but what makes it a bit better than average compared to other live-action kids' films is the jaunty banter."
		Guy Lodge Variety	"Even with such generic scripting (...) there’s a genial, palpably enthusiastic chemistry between the four young, capable stars that gives their hijinks a bit of bounce."
