An amazing, and Inspiring film

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2006)

First some background on me: I'm a 15 year old filmmaker form Vancouver, BC. (also featured on Cinematical on Nov.4th ;) )
This film was AMAZING, and I don't care what others say. Everything, from the cinematography to the photorealistic-ness of it all was a real testament to what's possible with today's technology. Some parts were so effectively creepy, and the fact that this was made by a visual effects company was evident by the flawless water and environments. I really 'felt' like I was in Antarctica, away from all humans, and the water just 'felt' cold, something very rare in films; to actually be able to communicate environments and scale so well.
I'm so happy that the ads didn't tell the whole story - that would have ruined it for me, I think - the last bit of the movie was so jarring an unexpected, in the best way possible! I was so happy that the filmmakers didn't shy away from showing kids some stuff that they did near the end there (I really don't want to ruin it for anyone), but I can honestly say that that was extremely inspiring and, as a teen filmmaker myself, just taught me what a big difference camera moves can make while communicating story and emotion.
Overall, an excellent film, and definitely a recommended see! Should you take your kids to it? Be warned: If you do, all other animated films may seem too simplistic and boring. Elijah Wood + Robin Williams are great, and DANG can Brittany Murphy SING! That said, there are some pretty scary bits for the cinema, I guess, but this may be one of the first movies I actually buy on DVD. And maybe buy a nice, BIG HDTV for. Yeah. A nice, big HDTV.

P.S. As for the innuendo, it's INNUENDO. There isn't much. If the kids don't get it, they won't. If they do, then they already know what's going on and you may have bigger things to worry about ;)
