Good animation considering that this is not meant for kids. But, the story is weak. It is the same old story: a rag-tag group/army is fighting a big, bad, evil thing and ... uh, where's the humanity's salvation? At the end of the day, it is one scientist's big bad machine against his own the cute, tiny and fragile rag dolls. Well, the machines also have human emotions (okay, really evil, but still) and I could go either way. {grin} With the star-power in the lineup, this could have been a really good movie. We watch movies for a good story that we remember for a long time. This movie missed the opportunity. My Rating: 6.0
