I was fascinated by the story, the characters and the CGI was well done, but it lost 2 points from being a 10 because, while very, very good, the CGI was very brown, muted and had an almost sepia quality... Full review

I am be a seeker of symbolism even in a CG movie but I really enjoyed the movie.I found the closed trusting nature of the people to be very similar to many of the hyper Christian and other religious comunities... Full review

"Kaena: The Prophecy" is a very well done piece of animated sci-fi fantasy. It is superbly animated, nicely written, and very well produced and directed. Chris Delaporte, who seems to have worked the hardest on this film, acting as co-writer and... Full review

OK, let's get the bad news out of the way right now. The plot is weak. There are some gaping silly holes in the story, numerous unexplained critter origins, shaky science, and a few threads that don't resolve at all.... Full review
Judged on its own terms, this is a lovely film.

This movie reminded me, more than anything else, of "Final Fantasy: the Spirits Within." I think that critics of movies like these sometimes criticize them for being A: animated, and B: science fiction. That's sort of like criticizing "Terminator" or... Full review
