Why can't animated film films learn from Shrek? Just because it a kids story doesn't mean it can't appeal to adults as well? These silly sunday school morals and terrible presentations are unacceptable.

Lowbudget film, which we can see in the graphics, but it is far from being not enjoyable. In fact I believe they did a rather good job visually. Next to that the plotline is rather simple but this makes it nice to follow. It could have used some more depth at some times, but this didn't really bother me. A nice and enjoyable, simple story with an underlying message which sometimes bothered me a bit.

"Battle for Terra" is small scale but entertaining. Beneath its hardly subtle and mildly irritating environmental messages lays a slightly darker undercurrent. If you go into this expecting "Avatar V's Star Wars" then you'll be as misguided as you will be disappointed. But if you just want a short, simple and uncomplicated movie, with well laid out and entertaining action sequences and solid(ish) special effects, then this is well worth a watch. Lacking substance, but not concepts or fun.

"A bizarre, preachy pro-peace animated adventure." - Nick Schager

Good voice cast. Reasonably entertaining storytelling. D-grade animation.

I can´t help myself...those creatures look like the creepy baby from David Lynch´s Eraserhead.This Movie doesn´t knock my socks off.

This movie stinks. the story is agenda driven eco-pulpit stuff that I don't care to get in a kid's, 3D film, and I am an enviromentalist. it wasn't good animation. the story was CRAZY boring. take your kids to see monsters vs aliens instead.

Despite its earnest aspirations to be a thought-provoking sci-fi alternative, Battle for Terra lacks both a cohesive story and polished visuals, and fails to resonate.

The best visual parts were the eyes of aliens and the mother ship of humans. I wouldn't mind the stiff figures, if the story was not that B&W and sleezy. The design for alien planet was kind of interesting, but only half way done. There was a bucket full of holes in the plot and the whole consept was designed for early teen boys: lots of guns against peaceful little creatures.

creatures are trouble, story is trouble and the movie sucks!

You see...there is something cool when you have little Vs Avatar...and little at the end is better for little...Still movie is mediocre..

Bad Movie

A strange and entertaining little film, and one which can be surprisingly grim beneath the surface. I'd heard many complaints about this film prior to watching it, but I generally feel that most of them are a little misplaced. The plotline is laid out rather simply, and can easily be mistaken to be environmental, but is really a lightened and brightened version of inner conflicts and motivations. As for the graphics, they're hardly bad considering the budget and other limitations.

It could have been so good. I'm sucker for these movies with strong environmental messages, but story is so incoherent and character development is so illogical that I had trouble enjoying this film. It's not a children movie, as the themes would be too complicated. I don't care about cgi animations, but this one is definitely not the best looking.

The visuals look dated, the character design is meh, the story is blah, and I can't think of anything I really enjoyed during this movie.

Had some good ideas, and the plot definitely propelled along nicely, but could have been a lot better.
