First came Fern Gully, then came an epic movie called Avatar, next year: EPIC. The folks at Blue Sky seem intent on turning these eco warrior films into a genre, with a CG entry to complete the triforce of nature saving flicks. They've also chosen a pretty unfortunate title for their movie, which will result in a ton of confusion if you attempt to talk to someone about this film. Picture this:
'Hey, did you get a chance to check out that EPIC movie trailer?'
'What trailer?'
'The EPIC trailer. Wait, EPIC movie?'
'What?'
'Oh f*** it.'
That aside, the plot is as follows: 'A teenager finds herself transported to a deep forest setting where a battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil is taking place. She bands together with a rag-tag group of characters in order to save their world -- and ours.'
Stylistically the movie looks awesome and I'm sure I'll check it out, but the current vibe I'm getting still feels a little too close to the other source material mentioned. Let's hope Blue Sky has something else up their sleeve to help them stand out from the rabble.
