This is not a super original story of animation, and neither a complex storyplot for a grumpy old man to cry hooray for. its made as safe and borderviolent as the aa stamp demands, therefore no more nerve than need to be for a feature animation. ican assure you youve seen better than this.

Couldn't get through...
defmuse29 November 2020
The animation seemed absolutely fine. It was the voice acting / cast that I couldn't get past. I really tried. But they seemed so out of place, lifeless (read from a script rather than acted out), and almost out sync (due to its lifelessness).
Halfway through, the coulourless dialogue + voice acting were too prominent for me to enjoy the movie.

Huge Disappointment and Total Waste of Time
alexanderkingaa26 August 2020
Total waste of time...I always get excited when I see that a movie is a Netflix original. But this, this was a total disappointment...Very poor dialogue...very dry jokes....In summary a huge disappointment...I hope this won't be repeated in subsequent Netflix Originals
I wasted 90 minutes watching this

I'd love to start talking about what I did like about this movie, well I didn't like anything about this movie.
The movie is really bad, it has totally messed up, I didn't laugh a single time, I didn't smile neither.
The movie is full of bad jokes with bad timing, characters be in a middle of a fight and they say a joke, and it's not even funny!
Also was full of babies' jokes they were bad and they repeated the same jokes for only god knows how much.
You can consider the babies' sequences is the low quality version of the baby's sequences in (Incredibles), they duplicated some scenes from it.
Beside all that bad jokes, the movie was trying to force the message of (You should be in the real life and stop playing video games) and all that stuff, the movie was putting this message in any sentence in the dialogue instead of showing us this morale in right context. As it was in (Ready Player One) by Steven Spielberg, this idea was represented in a beautiful funny story in (Ready Player One)
The dialogue was bad, super cringe and full of cliches (What could is it being fearless in a fake world, it's time to start being fearless out here) that poetic sentence would come from a kid? it was so cringe hearing sentences and speeches like this
All the characters were bad for their own reasons. The villain was ridiculous and not frightening at all, He doesn't even have any power! General Blazerhatch was annoying, you know that military caricature character with all its cliches? yeah exactly like what did come in your mind now. That hero in the poster, Light whatever, it was the most useless character I have ever seen in an animated movie.
The movie is really time-wasting, I didn't like it at all.

The movie is filled with clichés

Firstly, I did not like the voice of the Melanie. Somehow I was imagining a much different voice for her.
Secondly, they failed to actually bring the characters to life. Unless that does not happen, you really don't care what happens to them.
Thirdly, the entire movie plot was very silly, and honestly, for the first time, I couldn't watch an animated movie in a single sitting.
Forthly, other than most of the issues which people picked up, and so that I don't nitpick further, my biggest issue was woth the ending. Two regular teens, going out on a date, when suddenly a huge monster dog comes (predictable) and they're ready? With what?
I'd say this was a cliché filled movie which was a swing and a miss.

Um...really?
bdlewis58830 August 2020
It's like they spun a wheel of random celebs to voice the characters and then made them pick what character they wanted to voice out of a hat. Plot and writing was terrible as well but still got 3 stars because it was a good background sound while I stared at my phone
Kind of Incredibles! But not
ItsCN31 August 2020
It's great movie, I mean storyline could've been better. The movie was a little similar to Incredibles but not totally, the superpowers like laser from eyes, and bubbles seems kinda repeated. But it's good, would recommend for kids, as they wouldn't care for storyline. Overall is 5⭐'s but for the concept of video game into real life gets 2 more ⭐'s so there you go fearless_ you've got 7⭐'s from me for completing the game successfully😂.
Just Bad

comicbkgrlaz16 August 2020
Good-enough story (I'm a sucker for kids with super powers), and the art style and color schemes really clicked for me. I really enjoyed the texturing used on the smoke/explosions - even though they were kinda cartoony, and I thought Melanie's hair was noticeably well-done. I'm looking forward to the sequel!
Awful

Awful. Waste of time.
thatguyinsurprise3 January 2021
My kids love all types of movies. This one was just bad. The two main actors (student characters) didn't do that bad. The teen male was better than the other teen. The villain seemed down to earth like a Mr. Rodgers type. Boring. The Hero? Bad as well. No personality. They sounded bored. I know if the people took time to actually find good voice actors, this film would have been 1000% better. It was as if typecasting asked their friends to do a movie with them, despite their lack of talent.
Sorry Netflix... NO 1up! GAME OVER!!

Vanguard has some of the worst movies ever released (with a few paltry exceptions)... why Netflix thought it was a good idea to 'recruit' them is beyond all rational thought. The animation is below subpar and lifeless with no use or knowledge of lighting/shadows and the backgrounds are terrible! EVERYTHING about this screams bland and juvenile, bad fat jokes delivered by even worse timing and acting. Yes, I realize that this is an animated film, but even children deserve standards.
So, Reid is about everything you'd expect from stereotypical high school kid that plays video games ALL DAY- bumbling and awkwardly flippant.
As for the girl, another stale and shallow role involving a kid too future-focused on grades and college and red lobster crabfest, as if a single bad "group/partner" assignment will bring a teachers' pet's perfect gpa crashing down - so long collegiate career- just so she can make a difference in the world. Additionally, WHO schedules TWO BATHROOM BREAKS an HOUR?? Does she have Crohn's or ibs? Maybe just cursed with a baby's bladder? She certainly has no maternal instincts, as she NEVER spends time with the babies.
At least the government doesn't have a clipboard-toting, loud-mouth, hnic to make sure nothing goes wrong! Wait, I spoke too soon... maybe they should switch back to having a narcissistic general with a southern accent in charge!
The only bearable figures here are the characters that have zero speaking parts. Nonetheless, despite the danskin-wear, the babies are still only borderline endearing... AND WILL SOMEONE FEED THEM ALREADY??!!
This movie is actually so bad

Emperor Zurg meets 3 Jacks
ThunderKing627 September 2020
Its ok. Its 5.5 at best.
It has an interesting story going with poor execution.
Voice work is decent to it can be better.
The cast is ok i guess. Its featuring people you'd never suspect. The characters are good but they aren't freshed out any better.
The animation looks cheap or at least not good enough for 2020 when your on Netflix. The scenery in some scenes look very incomplete.
Its like Toy story Aliens meet 3 Jacks from Incredibles.
The flim has a maroon-purpleish color feel all over it.
Verdict: I'm not into the swirling or White Savior Movies. Its over done for the wrong reasons. Overall its a good movie that is barely passable.

This movie just plain sucks

Uninspired and mediocre
justforup9 September 2022
Fe@rless_ falls flat. It seems like all the characters were copied and pasted from various archetypes, with minimal to no thought. The animation of this film is abominable, but not in a "my animation program's settings weren't very satisfactory" way. More like the visual technique, their modus operand-is simply subpar. This film seems to mix cartoonish visuals with photorealistic elements, particularly on human figures. Most of the character's hair looks okay, until they start walking or running and it just freezes like it's a part of a statue. Other than that, the visuals are okay, and can be charming at times. But the real cherry on top to this dumpster fire is the not exactly fantastic premise. The whole movie is based on these babies that come from a video game fall from the sky and the protagonists have to take care of (but in reality neglect) them. It is confusing because it really not explained very well whether the characters, were always in a video game, or were they always real, in some way. Some of the characters that came from the video game even make remarks that would imply that they know they are in a video game! On top of this, we see the babies falling in the video game. How would whoever made this game do it? Drones? Magic? I don't know, and it isn't well explained.
The film seems like a parody of modern 3d kids movies, the type of stuff Dreamworks or Sony makes. Trendy (and annoying) pop music, generic characters, corny overdone message, etc. Fe@rless_ isn't that bad. But you shouldn't use this movie as anything other than a quick diversion for the kids, while you do more important tasks.

Fun and inclusive movie. Great animation and "our" type of hair was portrayed beautifully!! My kids were absolutely into it, they sat and watch the whole movie quietly, LOVE IT! We will definitely be watching again.
great drawing

Another diversity twaddle animated movie
TheEnglishChap5 December 2020
I started watching this, then just got bored. I am getting to the point that I will stop watching television altogether... why? Because apparently all white males are dim-witted and need an ethnic 'friend' to keep them in check. Don't believe me? Just watch that other Netflix animated drivel of Jurassic Park: Invincible Kids (not quite the title, but if you've seen it, you will know what I mean). Do not get me wrong, I am all for diversity, but when white people are made to be the dumber part of a duo, what message does that send? Oh no, we cannot do that the other way around, as that is unacceptable. So it is acceptable the other way around? The world has gone down the bog... I think I will turn back to keeping myself entertained playing video games...
Infants of mass destruction

Warning: Spoilers
Fearless is the gamer name of Reid who plays "Planet Master." It is Captain Lightspeed vs Dr. Arcannis. Fearless takes the game to the top level when he is suppose to be working on a science project with Melanie. Reid becomes part of the game as the three infants of Captain Lightspeed arrive at his door with Dr. Arcannis close behind.
If is a cartoon that has its moments. Not really adult catching. Maybe 9-11.

Video game of Sham Buzz Lightyear and his Supergenius babies.

The movie is fin-less rather than fearless.
Some people might enjoy this video game flick but if you follow movies you will easily be able to find out this forged plot with many other movies.
The characters do not have that enthusiasm to even become iconic, there aren't any memorable moments in the movie.
The dialogues could have been improvised.
The animation is alright neither much complex nor anything notable to point out.
The choice of music in the action fight scene is very annoying.
Consider this on the grounds that is a family film other than that it's actually a time squandering film.
