A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I don't, but I suspect Nickolodeon owned them, and the creators had no agency in the deal.
If you watch the extras on the DVDs, it's clear how much thought the creators put into the look of basically each scene. The world map is beautiful, and the element symbols were perfect.
So for the movie, they made it a post-Apocalyptic Earth? And changed everything about the visuals.
Hopefully someone will make the animated movie.

This makes me laugh, because...they aren't Asian because it's not set on Earth, see?
The movie's production company is Nickelodeon.
Okay. So they probably had no say.
Hopefully someone will make the animated movie.
I hope so too!
The AV Club gave it an F: [link]

It's set in Firefly-land?
Damn, those are some pretty scathing reviews. I was hoping it would at least be cool and enjoyable as a movie, but perhaps I will not be rushing out to see it this weekend.
Rotten Tomatoes currently has it at 0%.
Cliff Curtis being in it is the only reason I might want to see that film, but I think I'd rather rewatch Whale Rider instead.

This was precisely the reason I was considering seeing it.
I found a good review! He admits the writing is terrible, but he has a lot of good things to say as well.
