This week marks the beginning of some big movie releases. The highly-anticipated X-Men Origins: Wolverine is finally being released. The movie is supposedly entertaining, but not quite up to par. If you are a fan of the series, you should see it, just don’t set your hopes to high. The movie, Battle for Terra, was completed over two years ago and will only now be released in theater. How many edits did they go through? The two limited releases, The Limits of Control and Revanche have both gotten fairly decent reviews. The final release this week is the Jennifer Garner and Matthew McConaughey chick-flick, The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Something tells me if you are lacking a vagina, you will not enjoy this movie.
Here are the movie releases for the week of May 1st:

The 3-D film Battle for Terra takes place in the distant future on the alien inhabited planet of the same name.

So what’s the deal with this film? They’ve had trouble getting it into theaters for the past 2-3 years which makes me a little apprehensive. It’s either a great movie that has had trouble finding a market or it’s a bad movie that someone has finally decided to take on, knowing that they’ll make back their expenditures in DVD sales. So let’s look at what this film has going for it.
The film has been screened at the Toronto Film Festival, the Tribeca Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, and many other festivals over the past two years, and has won three awards along the way including one for Best Feature and another for Beat Animated Feature. It was originally titled Terra but has now been named Battle for Terra. Perhaps that will help it sell? And if nothing else it has a really impressive cast with voices by Evan Rachel Wood, Brian Cox, Luke Wilson, David Cross, Justin Long, Amanda Peet, Dennis Quaid, Chris Evans and more.
Sounds pretty good until you hear that the writer also wrote The Nutty Professor. Scary.
Check out the trailer and decide for yourself…
