Beautiful but Silly

Rating: 3/10 (17 November 2013)

I'm not a fan of movies that feel like they are trying to convert you to a religion, which makes me wonder why on earth this movie attempted to convert me to three religions at the same time. In the end, it makes sense, but it doesn't. The way the movie ends is just unnecessary and I would have appreciated the movie without the last 20 minutes on it. Let us address the CGI: Breathtaking. The animals are stunning. However, the lifeboat was pointless. There are shots where the lifeboat is CG'd in, whereas there are shots where it isn't. I believe this would have fit into my masterpiece collection if there hadn't been so much unnecessary CGI. My main complaint about the movie is the religious tone it has, I believe that movies should let viewers watch without feeling they're attending a mission meeting. Every time I started to enjoy the movie, something about religion would pop up and I'd ignore the movie until the storyline continued. Watch this movie, it's worth it.
