To be honest, I didn't plan to watch this film at first, but because I have watched other sci-fi films shown in the cinemas, I decided to watch this film. An I have to be honest, that I am thankful that I watched it.
There were not much film hype, not much publicity as compared to other films, even though the voice-over were done by impressive casts.
The quality of the CGI is impressive, made with details taken care of, with minute details given extra polishing.
But what is most important is the message behind it. About how when human civilization collides with other civilization, how and what are we going to do. Between our own survival and the need to bu humane to others. About integrity and the very human nature about our constant struggle to decide on what is right and what is not.
Human beings are on the brink of extinction, save the people on the Ark. They need to find a new place to settle in, because Earth had collided with two other planets and has become terraformed. They discovered the new place, in which they called it Terra. And then the battle began with different sets of ideological. Of a Sergeant who wants to fight with weapons, of the elderly who wants to settle it in a diplomatic way, and of the people who are stuck in the middle.
I'd say this film is an underrated gem. It does have good message instilled, and minus the violent scenes the Hollywood films usually comes up with. And there were no sexual jokes or lewd behavior, which means it's okay to be watched by small children and those who are offended by it.
