What if humans never change, never stop the environmental pillage of Earth, never stop mining our resources like commodities, and never stop warring with each other until it was too late. Planet Earth is completely decimated and the surviving members of our species are stuck on a planetary sized ship with less than 2 months of oxygen left. Our leaders are tasked with an awful decision - to race against time and try to rebuild our world or find another to take - even if it's already inhabited.
Unlike most of the "War of the Worlds" sagas we're familiar with, Battle for Terra is an animated feature exploring what happens to humanity when we are the invaders - taking from another more primitive species in a last ditch effort to save ourselves. Is it justified?
You have to go see this movie. It just came out yesterday but I promise you will not be disappointed. The animation and directing are fantastic. With all all star cast - it's a movie topic that should have long been explored by Hollywood, especially in these chaotic times.
Hit the jump for more screenies.
this looks amazing... period.
