Well, above all else, the story sucked. It was just a rip-off of a million sci-fi stories from StarGate, all the way back to the original 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Not an homage, mind you...a rip-off. On top of that, the story had plot holes you could drive a computer generated truck through. The movie tried too hard to be politically correct with a huge interracial cast (I'm not against having an interracial cast, but it gets a bit obvious when they make EVERY character a different race) but of course the bad guy is the white American capitalist. And I think Disney bit off more than they could chew with it. They tried to make a big action movie along the lines of a Jerry Bruckheimer flick, and some of the best anime movies, but it never gets past the Saturday-morning-cartoon feel. And oh yeah, the writing can get pretty cheesy. First spoken line of the film: "You fool! You have destroyed us all!"
