Rotten
The monsters are derivative, the attempts at humor are mostly feeble and the story, in the end, lacks a certain je ne sais quoi.

Rotten
Derivative and aimless filmmaking by directors and 'writers' who know only how to craft eye candy.
Janice Page, Boston Globe
Rotten
Simplistic writing and one-dimensional characters do in this animation film.
Angela Shah, Dallas Morning News
Rotten
There are moments in Kaena that are absorbing, but too much of the time it simply becomes tedious.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Augurs well for dazzling visual work but struggles mightily on the storytelling front.
