One to watch: Battle for Terra
Mar 18th, 2009 | By leimrod | Category: MediaJust caught wind of this new 3D CGI movie coming out in the next few weeks (release date in the U.S is May 1st) I have to say I am a bit of a CGI aficionado, and after seeing Bolt in 3D on the big screen recently I’m a convert and finally have a reason to leave my comfy home entertainment set up behind and go to the Cinema.
Usually a movie just being CGI alone will give me reason to see it (I tend to like the details in the graphics more than the plot) but this movie actually has a fairly interesting premise. For once the humans are the bad guys. Think Independence Day in reverse. Instead of Aliens invading Earth, we are invading a peaceful Alien planet. So who do you root for? Graphically it looks on par with a lot of recent CGI movies, but I hope that its depth of story and character development will separate it from the pack.
Watch the HD trailer below. Feel free to comment if you have any thoughts or doubts about this movie.
