Terra is one of those little movies that just delivers so much more then you, or i would ever expect...
Its sense of scale is amazing, truly natural and engaging cinematography, enormous color palate and beautiful soundtrack.
This movie is more a thing of Art then a Animation.
Still there is some rough visual problem's which give some scene's that 'unfinished' work print look, hence the reason why i am pointing this out, to elaborate further its only the terrain which comes off looking a little bland, but don't be fooled this movies graphics are quite detailed, still, most people would not notice and if you're watching this on Stream/VOD or DVD you are not going to notice those extra little touches unless you watch HD/BluRay
But if you can get past the minor visual niggles and that initial 'adjustment period' that happens when we are introduced to a new story, if you like fantasy's or are a fan of Sci-fi there should be no problem and if your keen you will notice subtle connections and what inspired 2009 movies like Pandorum and Avatar
Talking about the story... Well there is a deep and fulfilling back-story with excellent character development, brilliant plot and fulfilling ending, literally everything i look for when i watch a movie.
This movie really is a little gem.
4.5/5
+ Excellent original visuals/art direction (The sense of scale and particularity the battle scenes are 2nd to none) + Solid Voice acting (Luke Wilson is a surprisingly good voice actor) + Deep engaging, almost brilliant story telling (if you find any plot holes you obviously have not watched enough SciFi) + Soaring Soundtrack, a musical delight!
- Visuals do hit rough patches, only in about 2 scenes (they will be noticeable to the keen eye'd)
Just one last thing i have got to say. I can not believe how this movie was not marketed?! Ususally this is when forgotten movies like this start to develop a cult following, only time will tell!
Also to those people who think disposable animated fluff like M vs. A are better, its not! Its Really REALLY NOT!
