Battle For Terra

The film tells the story of Senn (Justin Long) and Mala (Evan Rachel Wood), two rebellious alien teens living on the beautiful planet Terra, a place that promotes peace and tolerance, having long ago rejected war and weapons of mass destruction. But when Terra is invaded by human beings fleeing a civil war and environmental catastrophe, the planet is plunged into chaos. During the upheaval, Mala befriends an injured human pilot (Luke Wilson) and each learns the two races are not so different from one another. Together they must face the terrifying realization that in a world of limited resources, only one of their races is likely to survive.


This is another one of those under the radar sci-fi animated movies that banked on 3D effects and then got buried on the release calendar. Its actually not that bad of a story from a sci-fi stand point. The action animation is't too shabby either. Its pretty cool and I would imagine would have been cooler in 3D. The basic animation was a little bit on the lame side though. Ultimately, the movie is just kind of there.


I wouldn't necessarily recommend anyone rushing to check this out. Its not that the movie is bad. Its a decent watch. Its just not really good enough for me to be recommending that you put your time towards watching it.
