Not just another Lost Skeleton--everything's still awkward and retro, but in a very different way. It works, though. | Not just another Lost Skeleton--everything's still awkward and retro, but in a very different way. It works, though. | ||

If The NeverEnding Story and Dragon Ball had a baby, it might be this. A pretty fun time. | |||

It's nice to see PG CG that's not full of pop culture references spoken by aging comics, but this fantasy comes pretty generic and feels extremely rushed. | |||

For such a so-bad-its-funny movie, it's too bad the crazy CG is so spread out and reused over and over and over. And over. | |||

Unfortunately the title is about as clever as the movie gets. | |||
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0949731/ The Happening] | |||
It's like The Birds without the birds. Brings that big unsettling feeling, but not the character relationships as in a, say, Signs. | |||
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480249/ I Am Legend] | |||
A lot of video gamey CG, "running zombie" type silliness, and still strays pretty far from the source material; but on the whole the film works well. Much better than the ol' Chuck Heston take. | |||

[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363771/ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe] | |||
This is a pretty simple story that they really stretched a bit too much to try and make a 2+ hour epic of it. | |||

Forget stretching; it feels like half the movie is crazy events from whole cloth to add more conflict between... well, all parties. | |||

Hard to peg this one. Unique, but less than the first. Tries too hard to hit the high points of the original. Biggest CG wonder is... Jeff Bridges? And the whole premise still makes no sense. | |||
