Battle for Terra
A simple, but novel story that presents a peaceful alien race that is threatened to extinction by an invading army of human beings.
The engaging aspect of this movie brilliantly portrays war in one of its true forms: the tragic struggle between two powers for a critical element of their existence with neither being the clear "right" or "wrong" side.
Even though the "happy ending" of this movie is expected from the very first scene, it still comes as a long-desired surprise.
This movie was very well-done. It is not really much of a "kid's movie;" consequently, the golden elements presented in this film will probably be completely missed by children and the battle scenes at the end will not really be the exciting "Monsters Vs. Aliens" climax.

Interesting twist on the usual alien invasion
nice job for a independent animated feature. character models were a little blockish but the sets and environments were amazing. plot was straightforward. my son 3.5 liked it also. probably will be eclipsed by the big budget movies like UP this summer, but definitely worth your time.

A better animated film.
This is one of the best animated films I have seen in a while. It is a refreshingly mature film that ignores the tired old formulas of mainstream animation. If you want the usual goofy characters and zany comedy, look elsewhere. If you want a well made and thought-provoking animated film that won't insult your intelligence, see this immediately.
