The favourite by far is SOX a feline companion robot with Sahara dry humour thats both adorable and hilarious.
Channel24 (South Africa)

But it hardly reaches to infinity, and it certainly doesnt go beyond.
Keith & the Movies
4.5
Taken on its own, Lightyear is entertaining, suspenseful (but not too scary), full of action and fun just right for a summer movie.

Pixar doesnt make ugly movies, but Lightyear is particularly gorgeous.
IGN

Lightyear improves considerably as it progresses into a midsection rife with involving, surprising attributes and plot developments...
Reel Film Reviews

Lightyear is fine, just fine. It inspires no greater superlatives.
Decider

Once you accept that this movie has almost nothing to do with Toy Story and its three sequels, youre in for an entertaining, if lackluster, Pixar adve ..
New York Post

But theres something precision tooled and soulless about Lightyear, an aggressively adequate film which gives the sense that Pixar are, for once, just ..
The Guardian

Lightyears message, about giving up on heroic world saving fantasies and learning to work as part of a team, is as uncynical and wholesome as a parent ..
Slate

Essentially, what were getting here is Buzzs origin story, which is all well and good but episodic.
Eye For Film
4.5
He isnt a toy, and he doesnt sound like Tim Allen, who did the voice work in the four chapters of Pixars Toy Story cycle.
The New York Times
2.0
Its a solid sci fi concept, one that has enlivened various episodes of The Twilight Zone and Christopher Nolans Interstellar.
The Irish Times
3.0
To get the most fun you can from Lightyear, only one requirement needs to be met: dont expect anything extending the Toy Story universe.
Herald Sun
4.5
But the funny thing is: Theres plenty in Lightyear thats good enough to stand on its own.
Vox
1.5
In the Wizard of Oz trifecta, Lightyear doesnt have much heart, either.
Film Freak Central
4.5
A throwback sci fi adventure thats witty, emotional, and visually stunning, with yet another majestic Michael Giacchino score.
Games Radar
1.5
It fulfills the mission of being entertaining. But from the astronomical level of the Toy Story saga, its light years away.

And because theyre all highly trained survivalists, it isnt long before they begin to build a colony.
The Verge
1.5
Lightyear has a luxurious atmosphere and protagonist but a confusing story results in a film that is barely entertaining.
4.5
While it all reaches us, it doesnt pierce enough to make a dent, so we feel like Buzz does.
Koimoi
4.5
Buzz doesnt age on his hyper light speed jumps, but everyone else does.
Screen Anarchy
4.5
If, however, you are willing to put metaphysical questions aside, Lightyear can be enjoyed as a jolly adventure story with awesome animation.
The Hindu
4.0
With unexpected twists and heartwarming themes, its a summer flick thats sure to have you believing in Buzzs motto, To infinity and beyond.
Geeks Of Color
2.5
I find it boring to infinity and beyond when it narrates the origins of Buzz Lightyear in a rush and on autopilot.
1.5
There is a grand total of three interchangeable, annoyingly unhelpful robots.
Bbc
2.5
The utter dumbness of the plotting is debilitating to its enjoyment.
Mid Day
4.5
As the narrative predates Toy Story, moviegoers shouldnt expect too many tie ins beyond Lightyears catchphrases.
Digital Journal
4.5
Directed by Angus MacLane, Lightyear isnt trying to set any new barometers, like Toy Story did.
MSN
4.5
doesnt feel like imitation or mockery (following Toy Story voice actor Tim Allen), it feels genuine enough to be his own.
CNET
4.5
Lightyear was exciting, suspenseful, funny and heartfelt, and animated action film is a category I didnt realize I was missing out on.
Lagniappe Mobile

Unlike Toy Story 4, Alishas queerness isnt just some sidelined reference.
Auto Straddle

If you can somehow get over those two hurdles, Lightyear isnt a bad ride. (

Asheville Movies
4.5
Rather what we have here is a very much by the numbers action film that doesnt push the envelope forward in any way.
Latestly
2.0
The speed of action cant compensate for the dearth of humour and memorable characters.
News9 Live (India)
4.5
A film thats centered around space travel, even one thats animated, demands a degree of scientific authenticity.
