Billed as the first European 3-D CGI feature-length film, Kaena: The Prophecy revolves around a mammoth tree that rises 100 miles from the planet's surface and provides shelter and sustenance for a variety of different races and species. Referred to as Axis, the tree has been losing its sap at a rate alarming enough to threaten the well-being of some of its inhabitants. Determined to get to the root of the disappearing sap is Kaena (Kirsten Dunst), a rambunctious teenager who leaves her village against the wishes of its elders. She encounters the mysterious Selenites along the way; led by an insidious queen (Anjelica Huston), the Selenites have resorted to enslaving another race in order to prevent the tree's decline into death. Directed by Pascal Pinon and Chris Delaporte, Kaena: The Prophecy began filming in 1999 on a budget of 26 million dollars, and has been described as having merged elements from Shrek and Final Fantasy. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

    I loved this movie. The visuals are brillant, so life like. The story was wonderful! And the story about making the movie is great to hear for beginning programmers, game designers, or people interested in creating animated films. This movie was originally suppose to be a game, but they turned it into a movie. I can't believe they made this fantastic film with public software. And watching how they moved the characters from blocky characters to life like humans was very interesting. They even show visually how they got the hair to move in a realistic way. I highly recommend watching this movie.

    Not because it was really good, but because I need to grasp what the writers were trying to tell us. I think the story is bigger than I thought it was. The animation was hard to follow at first but once you understand what it is you are looking at (not just the well endowed female star), it might make the movie more understandable and enjoyable. I may be wrong, but either way it gets 3 stars.
