I loved the concept/story-line and the visual effects were stunning. Many people believe that this story helps youngsters better understand concepts of the soul, good vs. evil, etc. — but I found it a bit of an overwhelming whirlwind of special effects (they were great) and fantasy-laden characters. Nicole Kidman fits her part well — but a soul of a monkey? C’mon. The ending is a lame ‘to be continued’ style that leaves you feeling empty. Too bad, because they really could have done a much more fulfilling ending while leaving an opening for a sequel.
