I enjoy the occasional animated movie here & there. Not as often nowadays as I'm getting older and I shouldn't say wiser, but seasoned in lack of a better word - I've seen lots of movies, so you sort of expect certain things from the creators.
This movie had very little of those elements, such as a proper backstory, continuity (Lots of scenes missing, and it felt rushed) and some things left unexplained (and then some!).
The animation I think is made possible with some type of game-engine. This probably saved the budget a lot, and it shows. It lacks details and movements are very crude and unnatural in some scenes.
What kept me wondering throughout the whole movie was how he was conceived. This was almost told, but no. I kept thinking that perhaps Belloc was able to take on a human shape and size, but it would appear that wasn't able to as it wasn't neither mentioned or otherwise hinted.
I keep thinking of tent and its bag - If the tent is too big - You get where I'm going with this.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought of this, Maybe not the analogy with tents, but with the obvious proverbial elephant in the room, so to speak.
As others here mention, the action is so-so, not good, nor bad. Average, and the story in itself is not new. Boy finds out he's special, there are bad antagonist elements, long lost dad's to the rescue/aid, bada bing, a few scenes later everyone's happy, The End.
It's no Avatar, that's for sure.
