an intergalactic Eden or Shangri-La.\u00a0 There is no war.\u00a0 Many of the inhabitants are even unaware of the word let alone its meaning.\u00a0 Life is lazy and languid, much like that in a Mark Twain novel set along the Swanee River in the Deep South; quiet, undulating like a reed in swamp with a warm summer breeze wafting through the willow trees.\u00a0 And ironically, the Terrians are slender, almost tadpole-like in their appearance and move by undulating through the air in their gravity defying cities going hither and yon without a care &#8211; and but for a few &#8211; not a brain in the world.\u00a0 Ruled by a group of Elders, the laws are few, but simple.\u00a0 Avoid certain areas of the planet and all will be well.\u00a0 (Can\u2019t you hear Will Robinson\u2019s trusty robot now?\u00a0 \u201cDanger, Will Robinson.\u00a0 Danger!\u201d)\u00a0 But, as with any civilization or culture, there are always those who go their own way, or have the audacity to think for themselves.\u00a0 And on Terra, that someone is Mala.\u00a0 A precocious feisty young girl who says what she thinks and thinks what she says, Mala has no qualms about questioning the Elders or her own father.\u00a0 She is everything that most young Terrians, and most young girls and boys, are not.\u00a0 She loves science and the science of invention and is so bold as to build her inventions and put them to use &#8211;

spaceships carrying the last surviving inhabitants (military, of course) of the now defunct planet Earth who are now searching for a new planet to call home, having exhausted all resources and ability to sustain life on Earth.\u00a0 Invading rather than investigating the feasibility of life on Terra and without concern for the Terrians,\u00a0 Earthforce begins a reign of aerial destruction, abducting Terrians at every turn with, as we quickly learn, the only goal being to annihilate the Terrians and oxygenate and gravitate the planet for humans to colonize.<\/p>\n<p>But for Mala, fear and acquiescence is not an option when her father is taken hostage and when she rescues a downed Earthforce\u00a0 pilot named Major Jim Stanton who agrees to help Mala rescue her father in exchange for her saving his life.\u00a0 And as the two work together, it doesn\u2019t take long for Jim and Mala to discover the two civilizations &#8211; and each of them &#8211; have more in common than anyone has dared realize, turning their one rescue mission into a mission to save two species and one world.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8424\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2009-04-29_170726-400x278.jpg\" alt=\"2009-04-29_170726\" width=\"400\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2009-04-29_170726-400x278.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2009-04-29_170726-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2009-04-29_170726.jpg 598w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From a character development standpoint, key are the voices behind the animation and TERRA boasts possibly the finest A-list cast of actors of any animated film, starting with Even Rachel Wood as Mala, who is clearly the standout (and one who has her own action figure) all due to Wood\u2019s performance. She provides a full range of motion with her voice and it carries not only the character, but the film, setting the tone with strong traits and a caring heart.\u00a0 Mala is truly a heroine that girls round the world will identify with.\u00a0 Luke Wilson surprised the heck out of me as Major Jim Stanton.\u00a0 Well inflected, emotional. The tenor and timbre of his voice, like Rachel Evan Wood&#8217;s, said more than even the words themselves did. And the meld of Wood and Wilson is also very appealing.\u00a0\u00a0 Leading the Terrian Elders is none other than James Garner as the wise old Doron.\u00a0 Comforting and calm&#8230;..and in my favorite moment, adding a little bit of fun Bret Maverick inflection with his &#8220;There&#8217;s always an alternative&#8221; hypothesis when Mala was so worried that the humans would die.\u00a0\u00a0 Brian Cox is exemplary as General Hemmer, \u201cevil\u201d leader of the Earthforce, and while Danny Glover gives an adequate performance as President Chen, I believe Ron Perlman, who voices Terrian Elder Vorin, would have been even better.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dennis Quaid jumps in Mala\u2019s father Roven while David Cross is an exuberant bucket of bolts delight as Jim Stanton\u2019s trusty sidekick robot, Giddy &#8211; a cross between C3P0 and R2-D2.\u00a0\u00a0 Thanks to Cross, Giddy is more animated and alive, than his human or Terrian counterparts!\u00a0\u00a0 Also on board are the likes of Chad Allen, Rosanna Arquette, Beverly D\u2019Angelo , Chris Evans, Mark Hamill, David Krumholz, Justin Long, Laraine Newman and Danny Trejo who not only provide excellent voicings and characterizations, but will have your mind jumping trying to identify the voice behind the face.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8425\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2009-04-29_170748-400x193.jpg\" alt=\"2009-04-29_170748\" width=\"400\" height=\"193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2009-04-29_170748-400x193.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2009-04-29_170748-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2009-04-29_170748.jpg 955w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Directed by Aristomenis Tsirbas and written by Evan Spiliotopoulos based on a story by Tsirbas, TERRA is not subtle in its messages.\u00a0 Starting with a very clear definition of\u00a0 good versus evil, we quickly see the affection Tsirbas and Spiliotopoulos have for sci-fi and adventure, quite notably \u201cStar Wars\u201d, even designing Earthforce uniforms that look like that of the Imperial soldiers or even better, those of the Nazis in \u201cIndiana Jones &amp; The Last Crusade.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Paying homage to the \u201cclassics\u201d, the bulk of the creative forces in this movie looked as if lifted right out of \u201cStar Wars\u201d and \u201cIndependence Day\u201d, right down to the manner of the aerial fights and design of the Earthforce and Terrian aircraft while the Terrian residential section looked like Jar Jar Binks\u2019 home under the sea in &#8220;The Phantom Menace&#8221;.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8426\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2009-04-29_170810-400x130.jpg\" alt=\"2009-04-29_170810\" width=\"400\" height=\"130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2009-04-29_170810-400x130.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2009-04-29_170810-1024x335.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2009-04-29_170810-300x98.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2009-04-29_170810.jpg 1204w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Technically the film is superb and designed to support not only the story, but the animation.\u00a0\u00a0 However, while the 3D is wonderfully effective, I don&#8217;t think it was used to its fullest and best possible extent with this film, although the majority of the film is very soothing to look at. Given the very nature of the Terra world and the free flowing undulating movements of the inhabitants,\u00a0 their homes, etc., I expected more 3D coming at me from the screen. The undulating movement was very ethereal and beautiful to watch and I can only imagine how much moreso it could have been.\u00a0 The overall design and color palettes are pleasing to the eye and keep in theme with the environmentally and socially correct Terra.\u00a0\u00a0 Interestingly, as a whole, the human animation was blocky and &#8220;dim-witted&#8221; (although the one female Earth Force leader looked very much like \u201cDancing With The Stars\u201d Cheryl Burke) and very reminiscent of Japanese Anime with pointy noses on the females and the shape of female heads and bodies. I thought was I watching \u201cAstro Boy\u201d or \u201cSpeed Racer\u201d\u00a0 from the 60&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>But I have to ask &#8211; &#8211; what the heck were they thinking making oxygen look green when it was being pumped into Terra.
