"Terra" Review and Trailer

by Jane Boursaw on August 30th, 2008

I saw Terra at the Traverse City Film Festival a few weeks ago. It’s a beautiful, animated tale about a race of peace-loving aliens on a distant planet. Humans were forced off the earth eons ago, and are now looking for a place to settle, as their life support system will soon expire on their space station. But the humans are much more aggressive in their struggle for survival, and their methods for overtaking the planet are war-based, which is all new to the gentle aliens. 

Directed by Aristomenis Tsirbas, it features the voices of Evan Rachel Wood, Brian Cox, Luke Wilson, Amanda Peet, Justin Long, and Dennis Quaid. It’s a beautiful film in color, animation, characters and theme, with some thought-provoking questions about living together with other species. Note that it IS rated PG-13, though, because of the violence and intense themes. So it’s not for very small kids.

More after the jump, including a trailer…

“Terra” is making the rounds at film festivals and will be at the Fantastic Fest in Austin, Sept. 18 - 25, 2008. Check it out, if you have a chance. Here’s the trailer:
