It's not completely awful.

Characters are flat and lacking personality and depth, but they are also completely hideous at the same time. It sounds awful, but it works in a strange way.The main character is a clown girl, and most of the scenes with her in them are pointed at her breasts/crotch/buttocks. The camera operator is very opportunistic about making sure we're aware that the clown girl is well endowed by constantly shoving the camera in various positions around her body. Lots of the time, she will be crawling with the camera pointed at her behind, other times she will jump off of something and land on the camera in a squatting position, and almost all of her outfits are hardly more than panties and a bra with a few pieces of cloth or what ever to make it feel like a complete outfit. It would be awkward to try to watch this in a public space, I'll just say that.The story is pretty bland, the visuals would probably make a really good CG cutscene for a Playstation 2 game, but overall, it's worth a watch as long as you hedge your expectations.

a fun fantasy ride!

Kaena is a fun fantasy ride through gorgeous cgi animationThe movie takes place in a planet (or plant i should say) called Axis. The people of Axis live their lives according to the "Gods". The movie centers around a teenage outcast named Kaena. Kaena is an explorer and dreamer who believes greater things exist outside the small land of Axis. As the resources of the land start to drain out, the Gods become angrier and more demanding. Kaena, doubting the existence of the Gods, is sent away. On her journey, she searches for the answers she's always dreamed of. Maybe there is life out there in the "great oblivion"...I'm really not sure why this movie received such bad reviews. It may not be the most complex story in the world, but it's still enough to capture the viewer's interest. It also has surprising good voice acting performed by Kirsten Dunst (who voices Kaena) and the late Richard Hariss. Even Greg Proops makes a decent comedic performance as a worm. Not to mention, the animation is spectacular, especially the scenery. Overall, I really enjoyed this movie.Recommend if: *you enjoy anime/animation *you like fantasy/science fictionAvoid if: *you have younger children (they may find some of the creatures scary)
