Got invited to the premiere of Battle for Terra just the other day and me along with the other Bloggers and their guests watched it in 3d at the SM Digital Cinema at SM North Edsa. The movie was about how humans and the native Terrans fought for ownership of the planet Terra. The twist with this movie is that the humans are the invaders.
We are introduced to a variety of characters ranging from the peace-loving and yet rebellous Terran named Mala, to the kind-hearted and brave Lt. Jim Stanton and the evil, greedy and scheming General Hemmer. Mala was forced to kindle a friendship with Jim in order for her to save her father who was forcibly taken aboard the human's space station. Terra was a planet capable of creating oxygen that's why the humans chose it to become their next habitat even to the cost of the extinction of the native Terrans.
The characters were voiced by Luke Wilson as Jim Stanton, Evan Rachel Wood as Mala, Brian Cox as Gen. Hemmer, Chris Evans as Stewart Stanton, Justin Long as Senn, James Garner as Doron, Dennis Quaid as Roven and David Cross as Giddy.
While watching the movie, I was eerily reminded of Star Wars. The spaceships were similar and the Terran world was similar as well. The movie was short at 85mins. The story sequences were a bit rushed and key scenes in the story should have been given more emphasis. All in all, the movie had a good plot but it got lost in the way it was executed.
