Battle for Terra Blu Ray Review

Battle for Terra was buried under Pixar and DreamWorks animation in terms of recognition and buzz. Even with great voice actor line up, Battle for Terra flopped at the box office. It was mostly due to the market dominance by the Pixar and DreamWorks that contributed to the poor showing of Battle for Terra. Had Pixar or DreamWorks been behind this movie, I’m sure it could have done much better at the box office. The critics and the audiences that have watched the film have given it good reviews. While the plot was truly original, its execution was very good.

The plot of the movie is very similar to any science fiction fans. It’s about Earth destroying itself in a war and the few survivors looking for a new planet. It seems like the human race is destined to destroy ourselves in a war or some sort of ecological disaster. While I detest these doom and gloom view, Battle for Terra only uses this plot device as background story. The real story is the interaction between the human race and the native inhabitants. Earth ship arrives at an alien planet with intention to settle. Military faction wants to settle immediately without any consideration to the inhabitants. This eventually leads to a battle between the humans and the alien inhabitants.

While the ending is fairly predictable for a family friendly science fiction film, the overall story and animation quality is top notch. Overall voice acting was very good with the likes of Brian Cox, Chris Evans, Amanda Peet, Luke Wilson, and Evan Rachel woods lending their voice for the animation. The animation might not be as crisp as Pixar’s. However, it is still very good 3D animation compared to most animated films. If you missed this great animation film, this would be a good time to pick it up on the Blu-ray format.
