One of my all time favorites.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

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.

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.

I liked this movie a lot. The palette and visuals were excellent, especially considering that it's an independent animated feature - almost unheard of, I think. The main characters were recognizable as types, but these versions of them (scrappy, arrogant but charming rebel, grumpy older racer with a past, arch villain who seeks to rule the universe) were fresh and fun. A lot of the dialogue was very clever, and delivered with obvious relish. It felt like they had fun making this, and that feeling was contagious watching it. I'd recommend this to anyone with teens. The women are drawn very, ahem, busty, but that's pretty much true for most teen and tween fare, so not sure I'd let that stop me. Thank God it's not another gloomy vampire story!

I watched this movie with my middle school age children. They really loved the story and the graphics. They are very computer savvy - and they really liked the way this movie looked. I also thought the graphics were great. They particularly enjoyed the Race-Scenes with all of the action and suspense. They were glued to the story-line, so much so that I couldn't get them away from the movie until it was over - credits and all. My youngest is already looking in the toy-stores for the action figures. He was looking for 'Race' cars or Figureens. All the kids and I felt that the characters were very easy to relate to. We are hoping that there will be a sequel. Or a series!?
