    Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

    Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

    A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

    what the title says. This one is still on the list of best series i ever watched. it should have been equivalent in size to "the avatar: the last airbender". if avatar never had aired, i think this series would have conquered earth instead. it's a classic series which never rose, but still one of the best of its kind. it has a 3d feeling, a 3d atmosphere. and what i like most of this series, is that is has all that and still have a 2d touch to it. i recommend just to try and watch it. you'll probably get the same feeling as i did in one or two episodes. the only thing that annoys me a bit, is the movement of some of the characters. because in some parts i find them move a bit clumsy.

    I enjoyed watching Skyland back in 2005/2006. Recently i have started to watch it again and deserves more than it is given credit for as i enjoyed it even more now then i did then. Being in my late teens it does not seem fitting for me to watch a "childrens" show but i rather enjoy it. It ends too soon only after the 2nd season leaving plenty of unanswered questions. I believe that if the show was given 2 more seasons it would benefit. The story i find captivating and it has some humor. The CGI and motion capture are beautiful. The show gives me a sense nostalgia because i missed it from when i was younger so that might be the reason i enjoy it at the level i do. Overall the show was done well and i have little negative feelings about it.

    First of all this is a great show for children. The visuals, sets animations, and cinematography overall are just stunning. The idea is a good one: the Earth has shattered and the remnants of civilization fight it out for resources amongst huge floating chunks of Earth. A young girl, Mila, possesses magical powers, and armed with this ability she and her brother fight with the resistance against the Empire.Unfortunately the writing is pretty bad. Not much else to say. The dialogue is cheesy, cliché, and the plots aren't that great although there are some great action sequences.This is disappointing because the production values are so good. I wonder if they spent so much producing the show, that they had to skimp on decent writers and voice actors.This won't really put off any young audiences, for whom this show was intended, but it's still a bit of a shame.7.5/10

    i'm giving this a 4 because i keep trying to watch it and am put off every time by the awful awful dialogue. the animators must be so frustrated with the terrible writing. there should be a moratorium on the use of the phrase "more powerful than you can possibly imagine" for the next, say hundred years. i could only recommend this show with the sound turned off.but the animation. beautiful. so much attention to detail and atmosphere. rivals the better Japanese stuff. my only quibble is that sometimes the characters seem out of place against the backgrounds. i'm guessing they are motion-captured.anyway, i say fire the writers and the show could only benefit.
