Hidden inside a smartphone, the bustling city of Textopolis is home to all emojis. Each emoji has only one facial expression, except for Gene, an exuberant emoji with multiple expressions. Determined to become "normal" like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his best friend Hi-5 and a notorious code breaker called Jailbreak. During their travels through the other apps, the three emojis discover a great danger that could threaten their phone's very existence.

One Room With A View

One wishes that this movie could be erased from existence - but for now, let's hope that the burning wreckage acts as a warning to never, ever do this again.

Rated: 1/5

The Age (Australia)

If I'm not dreaming, I've just seen one of the boldest mainstream American movies in ages.

Rated: 4/5

Financial Times

Occasionally it's as if The Lego Movie is reaching out a long, friendly arm to Inside Out and falling into the chasm between. But the film is inventive too.

Rated: 3/5

What's On TV

It's hard to decide what is most annoying about this cinematic botch: the ugly animation, the contrived story or the blatant product placement, or the fact that the filmmakers spoil almost every gag by underlining it twice.

Rated: 1/5

Substream Magazine

It's a horrifying scene set atop a pile of trash, but the pure absurdity of its existence is enough to make one laugh in shock and disbelief.

No one beyond the smallest of children should be entertained by this shameless money grab that fails in virtually every way.

Ok, looking back. This movie wasn't AS bad as I thought. But I still think it's not a saving grace. The animation was ok but the audio mixing (as I heard a ringing noise in one of the parts of the film), was not good. Same can be applied with the story. So while I do get the hate is completely and rightfully deserved, we were a little to harsh. But at the same time, this movie deserved it and slapped them in the face to get their act together and make Into The Spiderverse good (now that I think about it though, Into The Spiderverse felt it was early in development and Sony needed to get something out to pad out the release schedule and released THIS).

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
