Terra is one of those movies that might not find an audience because it doesn’t fit into one of the neatly organized categories that we have created for cinema. It’s a sci-fi story told through computer animation but it’s not a comedy and isn’t necessarily geared towards young children (aside from a cute little robot droid which is part WALL-E and part C3PO). I would liken it to an American anime. It has an all star ensemble direct of voice actors which includes Evan Rachel Wood. Brian Cox. Luke Wilson. David go across. Justin desire. Amanda Peet. Dennis Quaid. Chris Evans. James Garner. Danny Glover. Beverly D’Angelo. Ron Pearlman. Danny Trejo and Rosanna Arquette. Based on a 2003 short film of the same name. Aristomenis Tsirbas’s (a digital artist on Guillermo del Toro ’s Hellboy) film reverses the age old transfer invasion story giving the inform of believe to an alien race which is under contend by humans. You see much like Pixar’s WALL-E hide has change state incapable of supporting life. The human race have open that the planet of Terra could support human life. The alien race is not filled with the futuristic inventions and gadgets that we would normally expect. Instead they fly around in steampunk-like devices,live under a strict bunch of rules which prevent them from created unapproved devices (this comes into play later) and for the most move are a peaceful artful grow. In comparison the humans are a war obsessed race with many advanced technological devices. There are shades of George Bush as one general says things like “I will let future generations adjudicate me” and “you are either with us or against us.”
Terra is more interesting because of what it could have been rather than what it actually is. The animation is not quite as pretty as Pixar or even Dreamworks Animated efforts for that be. You can tell that Terra is a lower calculate effort but unlike Happily N’Ever After this movie has heart story and a worthwhile message of peace and understanding. But the real problem is marketing and demographic targeting. Terra could undergo been a much more interesting film if was written more towards an late teen or early adult level. It could undergo also been interesting to see a live-action/animated mix with the human elements superimposed on a computer animated world (ala Sin City).
