This movie has a neat theme, but everyone involved is giving mediocre effort. Brad Pitt and Catherine Zeta-Jones are phoning it in, and poorly cast for their animation and character concepts. The blend of traditional animation and CGI works a few times, but mostly looks jarringly out of place. It’s not funny or meaningful enough to stick around.
Closest comparison: It’s like Atlantis by way of Prince of Egypt.
Setting: Adventure
Plot: Action
Tone: Family
This is a solid ‘90s action movie that portrays the combat much more realistically than many of its contemporaries, though still very much a popcorn action flick. It’s focused on its ‘life of a seal team’ narrative and allows the winding events to play out in support of its story. There’s not much more to this movie beyond what you would expect, which is both its charm and its downfall.
Closest comparison: It’s like Act of Valor (2012) by way of Point Break (1991).
Setting: Stealth Mission
Plot: Geopolitical Thriller
Tone: ‘90s Action
