I've just finished watching this movie and I must say, I found it very enjoyable.
The story has an interesting 'twist' from the very start, with the human race at first depicted as callous and ruthless alien invaders, before revealing there point of view as being desperate to find a new home for there dying race. From this point, it feels easy to understand the characters feelings as they are forced to decide between saving their people from destruction or taking the moral high ground.
It's an animation film, but that shouldn't make you think it's main focus is towards children. The whole thing is done so that the end result is a movie that's serious, and in some places, a little moving.
The animation itself is impressive to see. The floating motion of the creatures of Terra and the battle sequences are just beautiful.
Bad things about this film- the whole thing should be longer and more fleshed out, with a lot more focus on the development of the characters, in particular their relationships with other characters. In that sense, I think quite a bit was missed out from this movie that could have gone a long way for the story line.
