This 3D computer animation is more otherworldly than most sci-fi films, and its environmentally conscious theme couldn't be more timely.

In making animation that isn't dark enough for older fans and is too message-centric for kids, Team Terra has created a film that will probably satisfy no one.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
It did not work as [well] as many of the recent animated movies that we've had in the earlier part of this year or last year.
Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies
Rotten
I don't think younger or older audiences will be interested.
Ben Lyons, At the Movies
Rotten
Aggressively ugly and intergalactically boring, the dismal sci-fi kiddie cartoon Battle for Terra is too weak to be shown anywhere except maybe on the next flight to Saturn.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
