It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I was fascinated by the story, the characters and the CGI was well done, but it lost 2 points from being a 10 because, while very, very good, the CGI was very brown, muted and had an almost sepia quality to it, additionally, a lot of the action is in heavily shaded locations. This made some of the scenes very hard to make out, and when there was quick action on the screen, it turned into a muddy blur. Add to this the liquid quality of a lot of the scenes and a kind of HR Giger look of the sap aliens, and you get some scenes that, because of the difficulty, distract from the over-all enjoyment. You tend to dwell on the previous scene, trying to understand what you just saw and heard, and miss some of the present action. I thought the voice acting was superb. The wonderful Richard Harris, in one of his final roles, was great as usual. Kirsten Dunst was very good also, and added a lot of energy to the role. The worms and other "comedy relief" characters were fine. Over all an intriguing fantasy, with above average voice acting, and very well done graphics, even if sporadic at times. I would have preferred a tad more lighting, and perhaps a splash of colour now and then. Worth watching in any regard.

Story did nothing for me. Have seen the same story many times, although the religious imagery was very interesting. When she is reborn and leads her tribe to the promised land, we see many echoes of Christianity. In a sense, the movie gives its own answer of where we came from. At the end, it is Moses leading them through the sea. But what is the deal with the long-toothed rat running around before they descend into the ocean? Gave me a flash of Ice Age and the rodent with his nut. At times, this movie is very sensual in a strange way. When the monsters mate, we have liquid erotica. Overall, an interesting visual mix of the ugly and the erotic.And Kaena is HOT!

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

The opening scene is this cgi movie is pretty amazing. The story is also good and the graphic is nice enough. Couldn't help but feeling the movie needed something more though. I did have something against the drawings of the characters, just not my style with over exaggerated eyes, they are huge. But besides from that I liked this movie.The movie is style like Final Fantasy. The animation are good, but not exceptional. The music is very good however. The various races are well thought up and the monsters are sinister and terrifying. Even though the movie is made from France I feel that the sync of the characters speaking fits well in the English version I saw. The voice overs are pretty good.
