I was holding off seeing this movie because Republibot 1.0 didn’t like it, and usually we’re of a mind on these sorts of things - I mean, hell, it’s a Dreamworks CGI movie - how good could it be? Their products are, well, more products than films, and they’re uniformly terrible to boot.
I’m happy to say I was wrong about this one, though, it was a good, solid, fun movie. My first clue this might not suck as much as Shrek XXVI: Colon Blockage was when the cloying Dreamworks logo came up, and then one of the space ships from “Earth Versus The Flying Saucers” came by and blew it up. Hooray!
I saw this trailer today for the first time over on the Bigdumbobject site.
While it looks moderately eye-popping, and it's interesting to see Lionsgate do a cartoon, and an SF cartoon at that...a lot about this trailer made my eyes roll.
I've not seen the movie, but let's make some predictions, shall we?:
1) This is an ecological fable.
2) The aliens are a politically correct hybridization of American Indians and Hippies, which is the kind of thing hippies will love and Indians will hate for good reason.
