Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

usenet69 I am be a seeker of symbolism even in a CG movie but I really enjoyed the movie.I found the closed trusting nature of the people to be very similar to many of the hyper Christian and other religious comunities over the world. They are to scared to think for themselves and move into the real light (in contrast to that offered by the GODS and the priest) As in the real world, when someone of the group does break away, find the real light and come back to 'save' them, the antagonism found in the movie is very similar to the real world.Consider the fact that I am gay, I should have surely noticed the TOO MUCH FEMALE CROTCH thing if it was there but I did not. I actually found her to be quite butch and in style with timbres style build. Nothing overtly sexual about that.As a matter of fact, quite a few of these lunatics that have commented on this movie and who went on ranting about the sex thing should consider seeing a therapist.

Salvatore Portuesi That was the caption in the cable guide that got my attention. OK, so I'm a frustrated artist who can really appreciate the end result of CGI work. And it keeps getting better and better with each new release. I just caught this one on cable and missed it at the "one theater" that IMDb says it was shown at. Sure, the storyline has gaps and the characters could use more development but the artwork is state of the art and phenomenal. From an artist's point of view, drawing 16 frames per second to simulate motion has always been an overwhelming task but not with computers. It still takes an army of programmers but what they're doing today was impossible just a short time ago. The freedom of expression as evidenced by this work is truly unlimited. Every scene had me in awe. The delicate motion of bodies and fluids was mesmerizing. Now if they can only get people to look like real people instead of textured geometric shapes. One can only dream.

electrohipoprockturnativ_chic Kaena is a fun fantasy ride through gorgeous cgi animationThe movie takes place in a planet (or plant i should say) called Axis. The people of Axis live their lives according to the "Gods". The movie centers around a teenage outcast named Kaena. Kaena is an explorer and dreamer who believes greater things exist outside the small land of Axis. As the resources of the land start to drain out, the Gods become angrier and more demanding. Kaena, doubting the existence of the Gods, is sent away. On her journey, she searches for the answers she's always dreamed of. Maybe there is life out there in the "great oblivion"...I'm really not sure why this movie received such bad reviews. It may not be the most complex story in the world, but it's still enough to capture the viewer's interest. It also has surprising good voice acting performed by Kirsten Dunst (who voices Kaena) and the late Richard Hariss. Even Greg Proops makes a decent comedic performance as a worm. Not to mention, the animation is spectacular, especially the scenery. Overall, I really enjoyed this movie.Recommend if: *you enjoy anime/animation *you like fantasy/science fictionAvoid if: *you have younger children (they may find some of the creatures scary)

ieatmold i thought it was really a pretty good movie. Don't expect the childish humor you might find in shrek or sharks tale. Though it sounds funny to say this about a cg film with the main character being a large chested tomb raider figure, i thought the movie actually had something deeper to say. It is modern mythology that shows a representation of conflict in society through our religion and trying to understand and cope with the world around us...she tries to find real meaning and continues throughout the film searching for a better way of life and peace...in any case worth watching. I don't know what else to say about it... they want me to write at least ten lines...thats about it...yeah
