The film was fun to watch. To me, the film is the one of underrated treasure.

Good character development, world building, nice visuals. - - - - Interesting comments about war and sharing resources. - - - - I might have rated this more like 8 or 9 but a overall 6.4 rating made me rate it higher because it would be a shame if more people didn't get a chance to appreciate this movie because they got mislead by a lower score.

Un film d’animation à la technique déjà très perfectible mais surtout à la direction artistique d’emblée très discutable, tout aussi discutable que le mauvais goût qu’elle étale au grand jour du début à la fin… l’impression laissée est de ce fait déplorable. Les comédiens qui doublent ce machin -pourtant assez connus- sont peu convaincants, une autre (mauvaise) impression confirmée par la VF fidèle à la crasse médiocrité du matériel original ; quant à l’histoire, il s’agit d’une sorte de copie encore plus basse du front que le pathétique Avatarte ! bonjour les dégâts sur fond d’anti-colonialisme à la Caliméro ! Il ne se passe en outre pas grand-chose là-dedans et on se retrouve ballotté entre la naîveté, voire l’envahissante niaiserie et toute la bêtise qui en découle, inévitablement. Bref, un ratage complet !

One of my favourite childhood movies. Sure animation ****, story is expected and is ... well.. meant to be for kids. Now I am adult I can understand why I liked it before but I would not say movie holds up today. Still 8/10 because I loved the idea. This can easily be any other movie, non-animation.

You know, I actually had pretty high hopes for this movie...when I saw the poster. One look at the poster and I immediately thought, "this ought to great if it has a poster like that!" Then I saw the film, took one look at the designs of the characters and thought "am I watching the wrong movie?" I know some people may like it, but I personally found "Battle for Terra" to be an inferior animated effort. Beyond the ugly character models, the animation just isn't that great, you won't care for any of the characters after watching the film, the voice acting is passable at best, and the story just doesn't resonate. Even at a compact 90 minutes, "Battle for Terra" is only worth watching during "Bad Movie Night." It's clear there was some effort put in here, but unfortunately, it's just not enough.

This is a great animated film. It has a good story and actually seems to have foreshadowed several films that would be released years later. Fun to watch, much better than the vast majority of animated films that are widely released.
