Ben Meyers’ rating: 1.1|5.0 Starsì
Battle for Terra graphics are great. But, the movie
script and plot are ridiculous with little reason for the situations presented
throughout the storyline. The story is trite—aliens take over a planet by
attempting to kill all the planet’s inhabitants. But, General Hemmer uses
fallacious reasoning to pursue a military strategy that takes the viewer from
the movie to focus on the writer—an unusual situation that is a result of poor
writing. It’s surprising that actors like Danny Glover and James Garner signed
for this movie.
