The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This movie was on Showtime today and I decided to give it a chance. I then looked on IMDb to find some terrible reviews. Then I saw some good reviews that didn't seem to make sense. So here is a REAL REVIEW.This movie is not good, but it is not bad either, it's just okay. It has too much cussing for a kids movie and the women are not exactly accurately portrayed physically at least. (huge breasts with visible nipple bulges on almost all women, super skinny waists, skimpy clothing etc...) It also has some violence that probably isn't the best for younger kids, but some of the stuff they show these days is a lot worse so I suppose that's just to be expected in this day and age.Now the good, It had a fairly unique plot, or rather it mixed up some semi-familiar stories and made them it's own. I liked the general theme of space and the future and the 'universe' it created. All this was cool but could have been far better explained.Overall I feel this movie could have been far better if it had been produced by a larger company or at least with a larger budget and a fuller explanation of the universe and improved quality of the animation. Maybe it's just style but it looked like one of those cheap cartoons that are being produced these days rather than a full budget "movie".

SPOILERS MAJORI am a fan of indi and bad bmovies but this is was an insult it was not painful or awful just so Cliché'd the only thing that even seems to have a budget was the race scenes. Even those are literal ripoffs the animation made it feel like I was watching a show by Tonka. The supposed plot had more holes then swiss cheese and the acting is sad.I have seen tons of bad movies including painful ones but this the Racers are basically a pod racer the is Driven like an Extreme G bike (game) the courses are copy and pasted out of Star wars and Extreme G 1-3 The aliens are just borrowed from every thing. They have a direct Mass effect ripoff and I mean direct. a Race called the Protheins that looks just like the Protheins from mass effect. I am aware originality is hard to come-by but Copy and pasting isn't lacking originality its plagiarism. The star gates plot is literally thrown at you left and right like a passing comment. The unbiased hatred of Humans is never explained or why 2 races of living energy need boobs, clothing, and detailed forms when it would be easier to do a simple humanoid form. OR even how Living Energy forms that can exist in space can have a mortal wound. The whole team earth not having a sponsor is BSed at you since if the RACE is so politically powerful I am sure the Earth government would be fronting money rather then letting their own team scrounge for stuff. They try to pass it off as not wanting to be corporate but that is so weak it doesn't work..The characters a literally Horrible Cliché's I mean really really horrible.They never explain half the stuff like how a stick of Liquid energy can be registered or un registered by a machine and still be able to tell. The only part to even bother watching is the Races the rest is garbage since yes it looks like crap but that has the only effort in it.

This movie is totally destined to be cult classic - have no idea why it didn't get a larger release. Great action scenes, racy anime vibe makes it more engaging than usual US animation fare -- maybe not a great movie for young kids (some of the characters are provocatively drawn)? but super fun movie. The action is relentless, lot of innuendo and racy dialog with highly endowed female characters -- reminds me of a lot of classic Japanese race films (Ghost In The Shell, etc.) Had a pretty tight script and great dialog. Is this finally coming out on DVD?? I've been looking for it online for a couple years...

My boys loved this movie. There's over-the-top racetrack designs and nonstop action, so it's great for older gradeschool and junior high boys. It also contains tough/strong girl characters, too, so girls of that same age group will likely enjoy it. There's a constant drive (pardon the pun) to the movie and soundtrack which kept my boys on the edge of their seats.I'm not aware of many PG-13ish animated films out there, so this is a nice film for kids of a certain age who are too old of "cute" animated films but not yet ready for serious anime.I would think that anyone who likes gaming would enjoy this movie as it has that immersive visual quality to it.
