Battle for Terra


Terra is a sci-fi epic in draft. Steamrolled a few months back under the weight of Wolverine et. al, its running time, execution and even script does not do the story underlying it justice.

Visuals are somewhere upon the spectrum of spectacular to so-so, but the dialogue and pacing I must single out for making Lucas look like a playwright.

Now, if only there was enough money and a decent execution to turn it into the live-action CGI epic it was intended to be. Oh wait, that's Avatar* (which this movie shares many themes with).

*No, I am not obsessed about Avatar. It's just a big, massive, expensive 3D CGI epic by James Cameron, is all.
