Coworker lent me this promising that the animation, while dated, holds up to this day. Turns out he was right, it's just that the rest of the movie sucks. The plot is a boring, generic scifi adventure with some of the most dull and uninspiring voice acting I've ever heard. The main antagonist was a
a̶l̶i̶e̶n̶ ̶r̶a̶c̶e̶ ̶s̶t̶e̶a̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶o̶u̶l̶s̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶h̶u̶m̶a̶n̶i̶t̶y̶ human general whose only saving grace is that he was comically inept at being the typecast xenophobic warmongering general. I was hoping more final fantasy elements would appear to liven things up, but alas, that would not be the case.
All build up, no payoff. The characters felt like they had very little chemistry despite being a team, and the ending was nonsensical. Reed Richards had to explain what was happening every 2 minutes, and the climactic battle was uninspired and boring. Really feels like they just had some cool CGI effects lying around that got turned into a movie. Dr. Doom being reintroduced and killed in the last 20 minutes was downright disrespectful to the character; gotta say, it wasn't fantastic.
