If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This movie was on Showtime today and I decided to give it a chance. I then looked on IMDb to find some terrible reviews. Then I saw some good reviews that didn't seem to make sense. So here is a REAL REVIEW.This movie is not good, but it is not bad either, it's just okay. It has too much cussing for a kids movie and the women are not exactly accurately portrayed physically at least. (huge breasts with visible nipple bulges on almost all women, super skinny waists, skimpy clothing etc...) It also has some violence that probably isn't the best for younger kids, but some of the stuff they show these days is a lot worse so I suppose that's just to be expected in this day and age.Now the good, It had a fairly unique plot, or rather it mixed up some semi-familiar stories and made them it's own. I liked the general theme of space and the future and the 'universe' it created. All this was cool but could have been far better explained.Overall I feel this movie could have been far better if it had been produced by a larger company or at least with a larger budget and a fuller explanation of the universe and improved quality of the animation. Maybe it's just style but it looked like one of those cheap cartoons that are being produced these days rather than a full budget "movie".

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!?
