Genre:

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.

Movies.ie Critic Review

The plot has a bunch of tadpole-faced inhabitants of a faraway planet struggling with a galaxy utopia that doesn't encourage freethinkers. Like Mala (Wood). The fact that Earthlings are on their way, on the look out for a fourth planet to inhabit, and most likely destroy, means the docile Terrareans better start thinking outside the box...

THE VERDICT: A dreamy CGI 3D outing that's been getting pretty darn good reviews since its release in the US two years ago - but, for some reason, still deemed unworthy of a press screening in Ireland.
