Product Description
CGI-animated sci-fi adventure. Alien teenager Mala (voiced by Evan Rachel Wood) lives a quiet, harmonious existence on a beautiful and peaceful planet known as Terra. Unbeknownst to Mala and her fellow Terrians, the last inhabitants of Earth have finally exhausted the resources of their planet - and those of three others - and are on the lookout for a new home. To this end, they have invented the 'Terraformer', which will make Terra habitable for humans but poisonous for Terrians. When the Earthlings invade Terra, Mala's father Roven (Dennis Quaid) is kidnapped. While trying to save him, Mala captures and hides a crashed human pilot called Jim (Luke Wilson). As Mala is nursing Jim back to health, the two forge a friendship - and hatch a plan that could save both the planet of Terra and the human race.

This movie itself is a wonderful gem with a lot of heart and interesting story line as well as very good animation, action and battle scenes. It delves deeply into duty vs. conscience as the few surviving humans of a destroyed earth search desperately for a new planet on which to settle before their space ark completely breaks down and they run out of oxygen and supplies.
At least in this case, the human's ruthlessness in trying to take over the planet and terraform it, in spite of the fact that this would result in the death of all the indigenous life forms including the intelligent and peace loving Terran civilization, is a simple matter of raw survival for what's left of the human race.
The graphics and audio quality are excellent, the action is fast paced and the main characters are very engaging.
Overall this is a very good movie and well worth adding to your collection.
What a disappointment. After seeing so many positive reviews here, I decided to give this a shot for my kids. My seven-year-old daughter fell asleep. My eight-year-old son looked at me when it was over and said, "that was depressing dad. It didn't have to end that way."
He's exactly right. The movie was very depressing and without giving away too much of a spoiler, there was no need for it to end that way. This wasn't some kind of an Academy award winning movie where they needed to have some sort of major character demise for it to be taken seriously. It's just an animated movie.
Also it's really just a remake of avatar.* We have human beings come coming to a Planet as the bad guys. An army commander who is willing to kill off an entire native population in order for the humans to take the planet. No conscience at all. So once again the humans are the bad guys and the nature loving aliens are the good guys. I mean it's not even an attempt to look like something different than avatar. Plus it's so tiring to see the same cardboard characters. The army commander who doesn't care at all about right and wrong. The do-gooders who are on a council that don't really have any power and a soldier who has to choose to do the right thing. It's a very cliché.
I'm just kind of tired of Hollywood liberals always making us the bad guys. I don't need my kids dealing with this kind of junk. I'll give it to stars because it was decently done and the story was moderately interesting. But that's about it. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Also notable was the top notch casting. Evan Rachel Wood is especially excellent as the voice of adorable alien heroine, and Brian Cox haunting as the creepy Bush-like warmonger General. David Cross, one of the the best comedians out there right now, gave brief bits of comic relief as testy robot sidekick.
A great movie for families, who can enjoy the visuals and drama while giving kids an intelligent intro into ethics, environmentalism, ethnocentrism, and more. This is how family movies should be--entertainment that challenges kids to think.
Despite the poster, this touching film is much more than an action movie. Highly recommended!

PS: Battle for terra 2007; Avatar 2010 - also distanziere ich mich mal von Plagiatsunterstellungen...
Ich habe den Film aufgrund des Trailers gekauft, vor allem wegen 3D. Das 3D ist wirklich gut gemacht und kann zu jeder Zeit voll überzeugen. Man ist tatsächlich ein paar mal geneigt, seine Rübe aus der Schuss-/Flugbahn zu holen. :-)
Einziger Kritikpunkt wäre das Detailreichtum. Es ist wirklich alles nett gemacht, aber eben auf eine simple Art und Weise. Doch vor allem bei den Charakteren hätte ich mir ein paar mehr Details gewünscht. Deshalb hier ein Stern Abzug.
Wer Avatar/Star Wars/Animationsfilme mag und auf 3D am heimischen TV steht: Zuschlagen!
