MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Battle for Terra
Senn and Mala are two rebellious alien teens living on the beautiful planet Terra--a place that promotes peace and tolerance, having long ago rejected war and weapons of mass destruction. But when Terra is invaded by human beings fleeing a civil war and environmental catastrophe, the planet is plunged into chaos. During the upheaval, Mala befriends an injured human pilot and each learns the two races are not so different from one another. Together they must face the terrifying realization that in a world of limited resources, only one of their races is likely to survive.
Related reviews:
In "Battle for Terra 3D," we meet the enemy aliens, and they are us. This offbeat, independent animated offering - not Pixar, not DreamWorks, and not half bad - takes place on a planet full of peaceful creatures suddenly invaded by our warlike race.

Battle for Terra is a 3-D (and 2-D) oddity that's a war movie grafted onto an anti-war message. Naive but ambitious, it comes across as a Battlestar Galactica vetted by pacifists, Clone Wars neutered for Saturday morning kids' TV.
