Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The motion capture feels like a stunt, while the stunts ... don't.
All of this feels awfully simplistic, like a 10-minute cartoon sketch bloated into a full-length movie, and one that's backed by an over-explanatory voiceover that can sometimes sound awkward.
